Good news for 2nd home owners in France
Discussion
A new immigration law which includes giving UK non-residents who own a second home in France the right to an ‘automatic’ visa to come to France for stays of more than 90 days has been voted through definitively by the French parliament.
Article 1er K will add new wording to France’s main legal code on borders and immigration.
It says: “The long-stay visa is issued automatically to British citizens owning a second home in France. They are therefore exempt from having to make an application for a long-stay visa.
“The conditions for how this will be applied will be clarified by a decree in the Conseil d’Etat.”
The measure will help the tens of thousands of UK second-home owners who have faced restrictions to their shared lives between France and the UK since Brexit.

It is good news, but I wonder if the rest of Schengen will accept it.
It would be nice if a reciprocal agreement could be done with the EU. We allow them 180-days, it should have been part of Boris’s oven-ready package. It is just another area of the Brexit agreement where he dropped the ball.
