Question 17895 — foreigners

Summary

Mr. Patrick Vignal alerts the Minister of the Interior to the administrative difficulties encountered by French-foreign couples and parents of French children in obtaining a residence permit. These difficulties are of two types: deadline pressure and financial pressure. On the one hand, if foreigners who are in France to get married or enter into a civil partnership most often benefit from a three-month tourist visa, the deadline obtaining an appointment at the prefecture and then processing their files can take more than four months. For illustration, obtaining a first “private and family life” residence permit can last between 18 and 24 months. On the other hand, the cost of the titles can be significant, particularly when combined with a regularization visa fee of 340 euros which results from the administrative delays which have just been raised. From then on, a foreigner married to a French person or parent of a French child in an irregular situation will pay 609 euros for their residence permit and no longer 269 euros, i.e. the price without the regularization visa fee which they must almost systematically pay. Consequently, he asks him if facilitating prefectural appointments and lowering the taxation of residence permits are envisaged, particularly in the framework of the dematerialization of administrative procedures at work. And this is especially true since the report on dematerialization published in January 2019 by the Defender of Rights Mr. Toubon states that in addition to administrative delays, there will be inequalities in access to public services generated by this dematerialization from which foreigners risk suffering.
