Great info. Can you do a video like this one with updated info? (2022-2023) thanks
We are interested in this too.
Purchasing a small apartment sounds a good idea before purchasing a house later. How difficult is it there to sell a property? What is the average time frame? Also, I don't see you email addy anywhere. How can I contact you?
Thank you for this informative video! What are your thoughts about the area of Carcassone? Is it a safe and reasonable place to retire? 😊
I think it's wonderful that France maintains it's culture in their foods. Too many countries are compromising their cultural identity for tourists and migrants.
$600 "per month" for gas heating? I thought Provence is much warmer than Paris?
So sorry, it was supposed to be €60 a month.
Gas is $600 a month? or a year?
what is a good website to look for rentals?
Thanks a lot for tons of information... It's very helpful as I'm moving soon into France🇫🇷🗼
How can I settle in France with 150000 euro? How long will it help? How to buy the cheapest property and how to find a job?
What is the best way to determine affordability of different small towns in France? I can’t find any apartment listings to gauge. We want to visit different areas based on areas we could afford to retire in. Def don’t want to look at buying before being in an area a while. What town are you in; did you say you are NEXT to Toulon or in??
What would be the best way to reach out to you directly? Hope to hear back soon, thanks.
Can a US or Canadian citizen obtain resident permit based on passive income to retire in France? What's the process like? Can US/Canadian open a bank account ahead of applying?
Yes, you can obtain a long-term visa and eventual permanent residency off of passive income. You will show financial statements, or a letter from the goverment (social security benefits) when you apply. You can open a bank account when you arrive. I do believe it's not possible beforehand. Here's a video I did on applying for a long-term visa if you find it helpful: ruclips.net/video/a1ICUaUdIao/видео.html (disclaimer: the sound isn't the best)
Lots of helpful info! I wish she would edit the captions, as there are a lot of misspellings of French words and place names. It would be helpful to know correct spellings when researching places to visit. But there is a lot of good stuff here!
And I wish she would respond to questions here.
is it hard to get residency ? can I live there part time? and still get med insurance?
Please send the website of the school. I'd like to apply. Thank you.
Thanks!
If retired, what is the cost of medical?
What is the name of your town?
Hey Keryn. Tuula lives in Ollioules. It's in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
@@internationalliving thank you. I want to visit Montpellier next time I go over :)
Did you get a loan for your house over there?
Was interested in knowing more about income tax obligation for expats living in France. How is income tax obligation arrived at?
Hi Beth, France taxes people who work in France. The income that you pay taxes on in the US can’t be taxed due to a tax treaty between the two countries. There is a French “wealth tax” on worldwide property assets of $1.3 million or more. Hope that’s helpful.
why are u using dollars theres Euro in France!!! ahhh,thats just so confusing and difficult to understand bc i dont use dollars!!
Also - the most important thing how to find a fob? the most popular job seeking websites or anything like that?
Health care for a retired American ? You said they can’t charge you if you don’t work?
Hello, they can't take anything off of passive income (pensions, SS benefits)- so if that's your only income, than you can't be charged for healthcare (due to a tax treaty with the US).
In terms of healthcare, should a retired person carry private health insurance when living in France even though the public system is available?
People generally get “top up” insurance to cover the 30% not covered by the system. We have that. It comes more into play if you need a medical procedure that, while cheaper that the US, will be more costly that a simple doctor’s visit. There is a lot of choice for insurance providers.
Are you in the Var?
Yes, I'm in the Var.
@@tuularampont9341 I love Le Var, do you know Brignolles? I wanted to buy a house there!
I love the Var. So many great cities & villages. Yes, Brignoles is nice too... we almost went out to Cotignac as well. It’s become quite popular with expats. Another fantastic area to explore...
@@tuularampont9341 thanks for the advice, I really like Cotignac. The tonw square and the big rock has a background. Merveilleux!
What did she say...
It is too rambling - there is really a video that could have been much more informational. Lots of repetitive stuff- took a long time to talk about renting
Your videos are very tinny, and hard to understand.
