Discover our A to Z formula
To assist you in obtaining this visa, we have implemented an A to Z formula for our clients. This formula is divided into several strategic steps.
Step 1: Career analysis and file structuring
The objective of this stage is to verify the admissibility of your project and to prepare a complete application. This includes:
- Verification of the regulatory conditions of the ‘Artistic and Cultural Profession’ Talent Passport.
- Strategic analysis of the artistic project and its coherence with the French cultural landscape.
- Assistance in gathering administrative and artistic proofs (portfolio, press reviews, certificates, etc.).
- Verification of financial conditions and income sources (the 51% rule).
Step 2: Visa application
We handle the assembly of the complete file, entry on the official France-Visas platform, and scheduling the appointment at the visa center. We ensure the consistency between the artistic project and the supporting documents provided.
Step 3: Formalities after arrival in France
Once you have obtained your visa and arrived in France, we continue to assist you with:
- Application for the official residence permit.
- Preparation of settlement documents (proof of residence, etc.).
- Signing the commitment to respect the principles of the Republic.
Throughout the process, we provide support via telephone and email.
