I have just phone the mairie and they have set aside a form for me to collect this afternoon. I have been in contact with the mairie several times to find out about how the various changes will be affecting Mr Clair and, from my tel calls to them, they do know that there are changes afoot, however, they have not yet been informed of them.

All the more reason to INSIST that you have one, while your CMU attestations are still valid. Healthcare Issues Site    Report

Clair do you mind me asking, why do you have to go to the mairie? Is it just because you are not near to a prefecture?    Report

Is it just because you are not near to a prefecture? That's right. the préfecture and sous-préfecture are all around 1 hr drive away. I did get the form and I'll get started this week. They told me at the mairie they had had a request for a Belgian citizen last month and the 10 year carte de séjour was done within 3 weeks... We'll see... The form is for a first request and they ask for my ID details (French spouse) as well. Apart from the usual ID and proof of residence, there arefive sections to choose from as regards professional activity: employed (provide work contract + 2 payslips + proof of health cover) self-employed (provide documents relevant to the registered trade) farmer student no profession (provide proof of financial status + health cover) Clair Real Virtual French Person    Report
