French healthcare

You may have question about health protection or healthcare costs in France, this link can be very helpful for you:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/healthcare-in-france-including-martinique-and-guadaloupe

If even with this site you struggle or you have some question, do not hesitate to ask us, we will do everything we can do to try and help you.

- If you receive a state pension you can transfer your rights from the UK to the France with an S1 form. Here is the link :
https://public-online.hmrc.gov.uk/lc/content/xfaforms/profiles/forms.html?contentRoot=repository:///Applications/Customs_D/1.0/BRCA8454&template=CA8454.xdp

- If you are not in receipt you can apply to join via a PUMA application at your local CPAM or if you are self-employed or employed, you will pay into the national health system directly.
- If you have your French carte vitale and travel back to the UK you should still be able to use the UK health system either because you have an S1 or if you are paying directly to the French system via European health card issued by France.

How to get state healthcare if you live, work or study in France.

Tax return 2021

Most of you must have already completed your impots declaration, either with the help of Trystan or on your own.
For those who have not already done it, YOU REALLY SHOULD DO IT NOW. The deadline was, depending on where you’re living, either the 26th Mai, 1st June, or the 8th June, in all cases it is too late…
If you did not know you needed to complete it, you should come to see Trystan, he may be able to help you!

Because of B****T, since January 1st, 2021, The United Kingdom is no longer benefiting from European help.
If you have an English driving license and you are living in France, you will need to change it within one year of coming to France, but for now, the UK and France have not signed the reciprocal agreement that allows you to do it, therefore, you have to wait “a couple of months” in order to be able to change it…
Below is a link where you will be able to download the document to change your driving license, you can check from time to time if the documents are available …

https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Actualites/Brexit-ce-qui-change-depuis-le-1er-janvier-2021/Permis-de-conduire

Once it is available, you will need (again) a large amount of paperwork (it is written on the site above) to complete you demand:
- The two certificates (which you cannot have for now)
- You original driving license
- Something to prove your identity (passport, identity card…)
- Something to prove where you live (a phone or EDF bill…) dated for less than three months WITH YOUR ADDRESS ON IT.
- your residency card.
- A certificate that proves you can drive.
- 1 picture of yourself. (passport size photo)
- Recent driving license information which can be downloaded here : View or share your driving licence information - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

If your car is British registered, you have 6 months max to change it to a French one, however if you are having difficulties, AXA will have it up to a year. This must be done within the first year that you are insured with us, if you do not change it, the insurance will automatically stop on the renewal of your contract.

Please note:
- If you imported your car before 31/12/2020 you will need a Quitus fiscal, you can apply for it here: https://www.impots.gouv.fr/portail/formulaire/1993-part-d/demande-de-quitus-fiscal-1993-part-d-sd
and email it to the impots.

- If you imported your car after 31/12/2020 you need to go to the nearest customs station (e.g: in St-Malo) and ask for the car to be assessed (you will pay 10% of the value of the car as tax)
You will need to provide:
-a certificate of registration or something equivalent
- the receipt if there was a sell
- if the car comes from a country which has an agreement with European community, you need a certificate of the origin.

You will need to complete two copies of https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/R42719
, which you should send to your local customs office by recorded delivery. A link to a directory of local offices is available on the link above.
You need to provide proof of former residence in your home country, proof of your new residence in France, the registration certificate of the vehicle and the purchase invoice.
You will be issued with a Certificat de dédouanement No 846A, which you use for registering your vehicle in France, which you must do within 4 months of obtaining the certificate.
You don’t need to supply a 'quitus fiscal'.

Once you’re done either of the above you will need to apply for your French immatriculation on the ANTS site : https://ants.gouv.fr/
or use a local garage (Norauto; Speedy; Feuvert…)
As always, do not hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble doing it on your own.

The BML team (KIM, TRYSTAN, ALEX, RICHARD, AND LUCIE.)

Some of you may have heard but Estelle is no longer with us, she has been replaced by Richard (who is British, so British that he does not speak French) since the beginning of the year 😉. Before coming here, he worked at AngloINFO in Brittany from 2005 to 2017. AngloINFO was a company formed in 2000 in Nice and its purpose was to give people information about living and working in France. After that, from 2018 to 2020 he worked with “Brittany internet” and now, he is with us, trying to keep up with real work at last.
We also currently have a work placement (me), Lucie, from 25th of May to 2nd of July, she is here to improve her English because she is studying languages at the university. She can help you with your residency card(s) or to do some insurance quotations.
Wayne left last year to pursue his dream of working with his hands and fixing things, so if you were used to dealing with him, that is not going to be possible anymore but Alex, Richard or Trystan are doing excellent work too, you can trust them 😊
Please don’t forget Kim who courageously takes all our admin work and turns them into something useful. She is also specialised in motorbikes and their reregistration.
Special mention to the wonderful Alex who is always smiling, and super kind will be very happy to help you for anything that is bothering you. She is the one in charge of car accidents, if you ever have an accident, she is the one to contact.
Last but not least, there is Trystan, our Tax King. If you have any problem dealing with your impot, he is the gentleman to call. He is also the one taking care of your house insurance claims, if you have any problem happening at home, give him a call.

Residency cards (titre de séjour)
British people living in France (over 18 years old, children do not need to apply) before 31st December 2020 are obliged to apply for a residency card before 30th June 2021, as from the 1st October 2021 everything will change and without a residency card you WILL NOT be able to stay permanently in France.
If you came to France after the 1st January 2021 you must apply at the prefecture for a carte de séjour if you wish to stay longer.

For those who arrived before the beginning of the year, you can apply online on the website:
https://contacts-demarches.interieur.gouv.fr/brexit/brexit-residence-permit-application/

in order to apply you need a ton of paperwork (you know France and its bureaucracy):
- Your passport
- Your former carte de séjour IF YOU HAVE ONE (even if it has expired)
- three documents (mobile phone, EDF bill…) that proves that you were in France in 2020
- A document that confirms your arrival in France (let’s say you came to France in 2008, we need a document that proves you were living in France in 2008, a bill would be perfect)
- According to your situation (if you are in France for less than 5 years) you may need other documents, please click on the link above and in the third paragraph there is a link to some information that will explain which extra document you need to provide.

Just to warn you, if you are in France for less than 5 years, it is a bit harder to get the residency card, you need to prove everything, if it is really too hard for you to do it yourself, just call us or request an appointment and we will be very happy to help.
When you start your application do not forget to write the “code de suivi” on a piece of paper and keep it safe, you might need it! (the photo is only an example; it is NOT your code)

If you have more than one person in your household, you need to complete ONE EACH, you will have to keep ALL the “codes de suivi”, do not mix the codes with another applicant’s information!
if you are in any kind of trouble don’t hesitate to give us a call and we will be very happy to help you.
