Hello!
I am a US citizen and I currently have residency in Spain via marriage to a Spanish citizen. I work remotely for an US-based company and pay into the US Social Security system. I save for my own retirement, and I have private Spanish health insurance. Thus, I do not pay into the Spanish social security system or pay income taxes in Spain.
I would like to move to France and ideally maintain the same situation. Given my particular background, would I be able to apply for French residency? If so, would I be required to pay taxes of any sort, or into the social security system? Might my situation create any problems when trying to open a French bank account, rent an apartment, contract internet and phone service, etc.?
I've been doing a bit of research but as my situation is not quite so common I am no sure how to proceed. Thanks in advance - your help is much appreciated!
