I thought I was all fine and dandy to renew my VLS-TS for the first time in good timing, but I was completely wrong.
It is certainly not clear where you need to go to, what you need to do, or who you need to communicate with. There’s no email, no phone call, no text reminding you your permit is about to expire. You have been dropped off and left at the front door and told “have a good time!”
But have no fear ! There is no need to go into panic mode ! You can find a good point in the right direction with just a little bit of research. I started with expat groups on Facebook.
I list a bunch more groups on this post I wrote about things I learned once having moved to France.
Thanks to the following Facebook groups that I was able to put two and two together to figure out where I needed to go to renew my VLS-TS :
First thing you need to do is a proper search in the group of your intended subject before you make your post. It’s only following the rules. Second, take the time to do your research and reading. You may have to weed through posts to find the answers you’re looking for.
