Trying to figure out a way to get to France (alien.top)

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.

There are two things here. One is the visum. As mentioned, you can get one in another EU country.

The second one is being in a salaried position under a non-french labour law contract. which is not allowed. your employing entity needs to contract you under french law. This gives you the same labor protection and social securities as the french. it's not optional.

Thank you for the info :) the company I work for has some European connections so I am going to speak with them
