Hello,
We are an American retired couple coming to live in France this year. We have our Visa application and all required documentation completed but not yet submitted. I am hesitating on the application form that asks for 6-12 months or more than 12 months.
Is it more difficult to obtain a long stay visa for more than 12 months as opposed to one that is only for a 6-12 month duration?
We may decide we want to stay longer than one year and would prefer to not have to return to the States to reapply, but then we don't want to be rejected for a long term visa if it is more difficult to obtain one that is longer than 12 months.
I have searched the consulate page for an answer but can't find anything that addresses this. Thank you in advance for your wisdom and advice.
