Navigate France
Navigate France specialises in all types of French administration services, from Visas, relocation & residency, to vehicle import & registration, from property surveys to utility connections, from business registration to buying property, and from opening a bank account to arranging insurance cover.
A word about bureaucracy! The root of the word actually stems from two French words – bureau (desk) and cratie (government). The Oxford language dictionary defines bureaucracy as “an excessively complicated administrative procedure”. Well, France is notorious for its deep and sometimes bewildering layers of bureaucracy!
Why Navigate France?
Because we’re here to make your life in France just that little bit better and easier to navigate. Ours is a very personal service where we get to know you fully in order to offer the best possible advice and service. We’re a small team focused on excellence and results. All our fees are fixed – no hourly rates, no unknowns – everything we do carries a set fee for a particular service, so you’ll always know in advance exactly what our help is going to cost.
Need simple hand-holding? We have that covered with our inexpensive monthly service designed to allow you a quick and efficient turnaround for any France-related matter, whether that’s just where to find DIY materials, how to find an electrician, or how to invite your new neighbours for drinks.
You’ve received a letter and don’t know how to reply? We’ll do it for you with our translation service. You’ve sent an email but not received a response (not unusual!)? We’ll chase it for you or make a call on your behalf.
To use an old expression – “no need to make a drama out of a crisis”. Instead, we’ll ensure your needs are met efficiently and with the expertise we’ve gained over more than 30 years of service to clients in France.
Visas & Relocation:
Whether your intention is to move top France permanently or to buy a second home for long-term use, you’ll need a visa if you intend to spend more than 90 out of 180 days in the country. Our long-term visa application service is second to none, and remarkably cost-effective, saving you time and money and ensuring you’re fully prepared for this stage of your move. To date we have a 100% record of achieving successful visa applications, and provided you meet certain criteria, we guarantee to obtain your visa, or your money back.
Retiring or need to work? No problem
If the time has come to hang up the workwear, or start taking a deserved retirement, then we take all the stress out of your move to France, ensuring the whole process is less taxing and more rewarding. If you’re not quite at that stage, then we help you set up as self-employed, or perhaps as a company depending on your situation. We and our partners handle the whole process, including tax registration and returns, and all the required legalities to ensure a smooth transition to working in France.
Want to know more? Just fill in the enquiry form below or visit our website and we’ll arrange a free, no obligation 30 minute video call to go over your requirements and explain how we can best help. We’ll then issue a written fee and service proposal to cover everything you’ll need – take your time to consider the service – we’ll never hassle you for a response and we’re always happy to chat things over before you decide.
Buying a property and need a guiding hand (including price negotiation – one of our specialities!). Look no further – we work for you to ensure you get the best deal.
