visas, you need: * Your passport. This should have been issued less than 10 years ago and be valid for at least three months after the date on which the visa you are applying for would

expire. It must have at least two blank pages in it * Two recent passport photographs * A written promise not to carry out any work in France; also a letter explaining your plans, ie. the

reason for visiting * Evidence of your ‘socio-economic situation’ such as pension documents or work contract or certificate of study from an educational establishment. * A British-issued

Ehic or Ghic for healthcare cover if you live in the UK. For Americans, private insurance is required with a minimum cover of €30,000 for urgent medical care and medical repatriation costs.

This should be of a duration suitable to the trip, or for the first year in the case of a VLS-TS. * Proof of having accommodation arranged in France such as a rental contract or deeds, or a

signed statement by a host confirming that they live in France and are inviting you to stay at their address. If you own your French home, you could supply a copy of the  certificate of sale

(attestation de vente) that notaires supply on completion of a property sale in France. If you no longer have one, you could ask your notaire to email a copy to you. A tax statement (avis

d’imposition) for property taxes (taxe foncière) could also help. * Proof of funds: Last three bank statements of current or savings accounts, with evidence of enough funds for the duration

of the stay. If your partner will support you, then you need to show a marriage or civil partnership certificate and bank statements from the partner. Read more: Can I extend my 90-day

wage (€1,399 net) per month of the stay or that you have equivalent savings to support yourself. Lower levels are accepted for second-home owners as it is assumed they have fewer expenses

than those paying for accommodation. Levels accepted for couples are reported to be higher, but not double, as they are considered to be able to live on less than two single people. No

precise rules are available. Read more: What happens at an in-person appointment for a French visa?
