Price for the formalities described above: €2,000
This fee does not include: visa fees, service fees of the provider responsible for receiving visa applications, the residence permit tax, and stamp duty.
Payment Terms
In three installments, prior to each step:
€660 before Step 1 “Verification of conditions and compilation of necessary documents”
€660 before Step 2 “visa application”
The balance, €680, after obtaining the visa and before Step 3 “immigration to France.”
Refund Policy
Should the applicant be unable to meet the conditions, the first installment will be refunded, minus a management fee of €250 (i.e., a refund of €410).
If the applicant does not meet the regulatory conditions and if a relevant alternative to the applied visa has been proposed but declined, the first installment paid will be refunded, minus a 50% compensation for JJP / Visas Consulting (i.e., a refund of €330).
In case of refusal of the requested visa, and if the applicant waives their right to appeal, the second installment (€660) will be fully refunded. It will also be refunded after the appeals process, should the applicant choose to pursue it and if said appeals are rejected.
The highly improbable scenario of rejection of admission to France or registration of the long-stay visa by the authorities, which could only result from the concealment of a serious matter, or because the applicant failed to enable JJP / Visas Consulting to proceed with their registration on the ANEF website within the required deadlines (by not providing the necessary supporting documents), or simply due to the applicant’s withdrawal from coming to France, or their renunciation of staying in France, means that the refund of the third installment is therefore not provided for.

The pricing, payment, and refund conditions are identical to those detailed above.
Note: The applicant may also opt, according to their preferences, for the basic advice or assistance provided for long-stay visas, thereby reducing costs.
