Many citizens of Ukraine, as well as residents of neighboring countries of the post-Soviet space consider France as a favorable place for permanent residence. 

This European jurisdiction is characterized by a high standard of living, stable political and economic systems. Foreigners can stay in France for no more than 90 days without proper documentation.

If you plan to stay for a longer period of time on the territory of the European jurisdiction, you will have to obtain a residence permit.

The procedure for obtaining a residence permit requires the help of specialists, as French legislation provides a number of requirements and the procedure for registration of a residence permit. 

It is difficult for an untrained person to understand all the intricacies of migration legislation, in connection with which many people are refused by the embassy to issue a long-term visa and residence permit.
