Relocate Onboarding — Settle in France After Your Visa
Relocate Onboarding is EU Unlockr's settling-in package for the first weeks in France. It is added to a residence program, the Visa D Visiteur or one of the Talent programs, and is not sold on its own. It covers the practical steps that follow the visa: housing search in Paris, bank account, health insurance registration, driving licence, phone plan, and one month of personal support.
What it is
Relocate Onboarding is an add-on, not a residence route. It does not give you a visa or a residence permit: you first need a program, such as Talent Startup, Talent Business Creation, Talent Investor, or the Visa D Visiteur. Relocate Onboarding then supports the installation that follows.
What is included
Each item is a procedure we carry out with you, not a guaranteed result.
- Driving licence exchange: we support the exchange of your foreign driving licence for a French one.
- Carte Vitale: we support your registration for French health insurance and the Carte Vitale.
- Phone plan: we help you set up a French mobile plan.
- Bank account: we help you open a bank account in France.
- Housing search in Paris: we search for accommodation in Paris with you.
- One month of personal support: a member of our team supports you personally during your first month.
Costs
Relocate Onboarding is a package of €8,000, separate from the price of your residence program. Third-party costs, such as rent, deposits, agency fees, bank fees, and phone plan charges, are paid directly to the providers.
Limits
- Housing: the search covers Paris only, and it does not guarantee that you will obtain accommodation.
- Bank account: the decision to open an account belongs to the bank. You complete the bank's identity and compliance checks yourself; we prepare and support the application.
- Carte Vitale: registration depends on your entitlement to French health insurance.
- Driving licence: the exchange depends on the rules that apply to the country that issued your licence.
