Despite France being among one of the most favored destinations in terms of a secondary residence permit under the financially independent category. Holding exclusively a titre de séjour from a Schengen member country such as France, Spain or Portugal gives you the right to freely travel within the Schengen member countries. However, this does not grant travel to non-Schengen countries such as Ireland or the United Kingdom.
For broader travel opportunities, our experts encourage securing an Irish residence permit in addition to a French one. This strategy expands your travel possibilities and helps you achieve new milestones.
By diversifying your residence permits across different countries, you enhance your freedom of movement and unlock new opportunities for the future.
