Visa commercant
Hi Valerie, following on my introductory mail last week I have a few follow-up questions/comments please.
I understand that we require a visa commercant before we can register a °µÍø½ûÇø in France. My daughter and her husband, who are currently living on our property in Caux, France are in the country on a one year visitors visa. They will have to apply at the local Prefecture for this visa and submit a °µÍø½ûÇø and financial plan as part of the process. If the visa is awarded they can then get someone to help them register the °µÍø½ûÇø. All of this correct so far?
It is important that the °µÍø½ûÇø will be registered in both our names because my plan is to move to France in about 5 years time to work with them. So my questions are as follows:
- At what stage do my wife and I apply for this visa - only when we want to move there?
- How can we ensure that we are part of the °µÍø½ûÇø right from the start ( I will be providing the capital) from a structural point.
- Can you give me a rough idea what is required to set up the °µÍø½ûÇø, including costs and investment required.
- You mentioned it will be a lot easier to apply for the visa from outside of France. The challenge is that we don’t get back to South Africa anymore and now have resident permits in Switzerland - would it be possible to apply from Switzerland even though we hold South African passports?
- Any other guidance will be greatly appreciated. The immediate priority is for my daughter and her husband to obtain the correct visa and set up the company - if we can achieve this it will be fantastic.
- Do you know what else will be required for their visa application (other than the °µÍø½ûÇø and financial plan).
Thanks so much.
Christo
