NON-EU NATIONALS VISITING FRANCE FOR MORE THAN 90 DAYS WILL NEED TO APPLY FOR A VISA Reader Question: I want to take my boat to travel around France via its canal system for six months. Is


this possible, and if so, will that make me a resident, even if I have no fixed address? The first thing to note is that this will not make you a resident in the fiscal sense, as for this


you would need to be making France your main home, as opposed to in effect having an extended holiday.  You would generally also need to come for more than six months. Other tests are also


looked at, such as work and financial ties to France. So, as far as taxation is concerned, your UK status dictates your tax residency.  As you are not moving to France you would not need a


residency card in this case. 90/180-DAY RULE But, as you are planning to be in France for more than 90 days, if you are a non-EU national then you will need to apply for a visa, as if you do


not, you will be limited by the 90/180-day rule and only be able to stay in the country for a maximum of three months (90 days). The correct visa to apply for would be a six-month visa de


long-séjour temporaire. A visa lasting for longer than this usually relates to some form of settled residency. Read more: Explainer: Common visa options for visiting and moving to France


This is required both for those boating on internal French waterways, and those docked at French coastal ports (where you are still nominally in French territory, even if you do not


disembark).  Judy Evans of the UK’s Barge Association and also the Cruising Association confirmed that it is possible for boaters - both those who dock their vessel in a marina, and those


who sail French canals - to obtain a VLS-T.  Read more: Do I have to wait six months after expiry to renew French VLS-T visa? Some questions in the application, such as those regarding your


address, will need to be answered differently than if you were staying at a fixed address such as a French second home.  For example, you should provide details of your boat and where it is


located in France (or put ‘various’ if this does not apply). More information can be found from the Barge Association at barges.org.
