The French
entrepreneur/profession libérale visa, 
finally
explained.

We moved from the UK on the Profession Libérale visa. It was harder than it should’ve been, so we turned our experience into the templates and step-by-step guide we wish we’d had.

Who are we?

We’re Leonie and Joe, and we created Voilà after going through the Entrepreneur/Profession Libérale visa process ourselves.

Like many people, we dreamed of moving to France and building a life there. But when we started researching the visa process, clear and practical information was hard to piece together.

We spent months researching, speaking to others, preparing documents and working through the ANEF, France-Visas and TLScontact stages.

This site is based on our own experience. We share the steps we followed, the documents we prepared and the lessons we learned, so others have a clearer starting point than we did.

We are not immigration lawyers, and this is not legal or immigration advice. It is simply the practical experience we wish we had been able to read when we started.

Start with our Visa Overview to see whether the Entrepreneur/Profession Libérale visa could be right for you.

    Our step-by-step guide shows the process we followed through ANEF, France-Visas, TLScontact and the appointment stage.

Common Questions

No. Everything on this site is based on our own experience of applying for the Entrepreneur/Profession Libérale visa route. We are not immigration lawyers, and every application is different. You should always check the latest official requirements for your own situation.

The Complete Visa Pack includes the Business Plan Template Pack and the Visa Step-by-Step Guide together at a discounted price. It includes the business plan and financial forecast templates in English and French, the read-me guidance, and the process we followed through ANEF, France-Visas, TLScontact and appointment preparation.

The products are digital downloads. After purchase, you will receive access to download the files through the website.

Choose the Business Plan Template Pack if you already understand the process and mainly need help preparing the business plan and financial forecast. Choose the Visa Step-by-Step Guide if you want to understand the process we followed. Choose the Complete Visa Pack if you want both.

Our own application was made from the UK, so some visa-centre and appointment details may be specific to UK applicants and our experience. However, the business plan templates, financial forecast templates, ANEF preparation and general process outlined in the Visa Step-by-Step Guide may still be useful to applicants applying from other countries. You should always check the official requirements for your own country of application.
