New expats to register at mairie

All new immigrants wanting to live in France, including those from the EU, will have to register with their mairies

All new immigrants wanting to live in France, including those from the EU, will have to register with their mairies within three months of arrival, once a new law is put into action.

This will only apply to those who move here after a decree is published putting the law into action.

The Immigration Ministry was unable to confirm when the decree would be passed or the reason for the new requirement.
