Hi Reddit. I’m an American with a full time remote job that allows me to work from anywhere. My boyfriend is French and we would like to live together in France, however I have some visa concerns. It appears that the French government does not allow you to work remotely from another country. We plan on getting married within the next couple of years but would like to settle down before then, so residency through marriage is not ideal right now. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I would love you input/advice, I am feeling very confused with all of the contradicting information I find online.

    I dont think france has s DN visa

    The issue is even if you work remotely there and just stay mum on what you’re doing i think the limit you stay on tourism visa is 180 days every year

    You could also go the student visa route or just get a courtroom marriage to sort out your visa

      Yep. To be precise it’s a maximum of 90 days in any rolling period of 180 days in the whole Schengen area, so if OP spends 90 days in a row in France she needs to leave Schengen for 90 days before coming again
