THE TELEGRAPH: Politicians across the Channel argue Britons should be able to ‘spend their money’
France’s 90-day visa rule could be relaxed for British second home owners after French politicians said they had been “punished by Brexit”.
The senate, France’s second chamber, has voted through an amendment to the country’s new Immigration Law giving British second home owners the automatic right to a long-stay visa.
Since Brexit, all British nationals – including those with a home in France – have only been able to stay 90 days out of every 180 without a visa. If they want to stay any longer, Britons have to apply for a temporary long-stay visa of up to six months.
Martine Berthet, a French senator representing the Savoie area in the Alps, tabled a change to these rules after receiving complaints from British second home owners in her region. » | Ruby Hinchliffe, Money Reporter and Henry Samuel | Monday, November 13, 2023
