Moving to France is daunting in it's complexity, but Jo and Arthur are making it seamless. Their expert advice, patience, and willingness to handle the legwork is saving me time and stress. With reasonable, itemised pricing, I only pay for what I need. Their support is invaluable—I’m truly glad I found them.

Nina

We are currently using Navigate France for our residency cards, and have found them to be very professional and responsive, as well as providing humour and perspective around some of the challenges that any newcomer to another country might face. They have made the process much easier to manage and are worth every cent.

David

Navigate France have given us peace of mind throughout our relocation. They are knowledgeable, professional, affordable, and helpful in ways we could not have imagined. From applying for our long-term visas, to using our French online banking website, Jo & Arthur have been there with us, and for us.

David

My wife and I used the services of Navigate France to assist us in obtaining a French long-stay visa.
Arthur and Jo provided guidance & advice throughout the application process and their previous experience was especially invaluable in helping us compose our letter of motivation for submission.

MJ Daniels

Jo and the team from Navigate France helped me achieve my dreams from afar. As an Australian purchasing land and building a home in France, I could not have accomplished this without their knowledge and expertise.
They handled every step professionally. Throughout the entire process, I found Navigate France to be completely trustworthy and an absolute pleasure to work with.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Navigate France.
