Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Long Stay Visa - France

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
We’re just about to start the process of applying for our long stay visa for France through TLS.

Just interested if any other Snowhead has applied recently and how long it took for your passport to be returned.

Last year we kept it within the 90 days (just) but our daughter got the visa which was straightforward with her passport and visa returned in 12 days.

TLS seems to have more warnings about fraudulent applications than previously years so any feedback about recent experiences would be grateful.

Instead of going to the French Consult in Edinburgh they send us to the TLS office in Princes Street

@snowrider, @HammondR, Thanks our appointments are on 26 September so hopefully we should have it back in the same sort of timescale.

For anyone else going through the process we did have an issue getting an appointment.

As instructed on the website for a married couple we created a group for the appointment.
Unfortunately this is then a different appointment system and no appointments Edinburgh at all.
The helpline split the group and we were able to easily get individual slots that suited.

As retirement gets closer I start to think more about this.
Can I ask how long this lets you stay?
