Two distinct French family routes: (a) Regroupement familial — for spouses/children of foreign residents in France (OFII-led, 18-month sponsor residence threshold, lengthy process averaging 9-18 months); (b) Visa long séjour conjoint de Français — for spouses of French citizens (faster, no OFII pre-approval, no resources/housing test, married for ≥ 6 months at the time of application). The right route depends on the sponsor's nationality.

  Before applying

  Filed in France by the legally-resident sponsor (the French resident requesting that their spouse/children join them). Submitted to OFII; OFII conducts the housing + resources verification before the consular visa is granted.

  Heads up: OFII verifies: stable accommodation (size by household), resources at or above SMIC over the past 12 months, lawful residence ≥ 18 months for the sponsor. Without OFII approval, the consulate will not issue the family visa.
