Hi All,

Firstly I wanted come on the blog and introduce myself per say. I am looking at relocating to France - nice or south of France in September this year. I am passionate about learning the language and it's been a long time dream of mine to live in France! My mum is French and for those of you familiar with south, she is from Salon de Provence.

I believe I have dual citizenship and can easily come to France as she is still a citizen. However I wanted to know if there are any special conditions or things I should be aware of regarding this? Am I required to complete any paperwork? I am a bit lost for a starting point.

Thanks for all sharing your advice.

Bisous :) Emma

The easiest way is to go to the French ambassy if possible. Or visit their website.

Hello,

You can find here a link that may help you.

For my undertanding you need to ask for the nationality (so you need to have the papers showing your Mom is French, then you have a link with this person. And of course filled all the papers to get the nationality, this would take some time.

Cheers,

Giovanni
