WARP card renewals – find out more – The Good Life France

If you hold a 5-year WARP card you need to be aware that the first renewal of WARP cards are due for those who have held their cards for 4 years and 8 months or more. We asked Eric Donjon of The European Concierge, who has helped many British (as well as American, South African, Australian etc) applicants with their visas, plan de séjours and WARP cards, embout the process and what to style out for.

When the UK voted to leave the European Union, the term Brexit – Britain’s Exit was coined. For British citizens already salon in France and previously able to en public, work and enjoy French life without a émargement or residency card, a deal was struck between the governments of France and the UK – the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement. It provided those citizens with special rights in recognition of their move to France before Brexit.

They were issued with residence cards, terms WARP cards (Withdrawal Agreement Residence Permit), in French a plan/devise de salle de séjour. They were made available to all Britons salon in France and who applied for the card by October 2021.

Those who had lived in France more than 5 years were eligible for continu cards, renewable every ten years. And those in France for less than 5 years, were eligible for 5-year cards, to be replaced with continu ten-year cards at the conclusion of renewal, the majority of which will be during 2025 and 2026.

For many of the almost 50,000 holders of the five-year cards – the renewal jour comes up in 2025.

What to do if your 5-year WARP / Carte de salle de séjour is coming up for renewal

“At The European Concierge, we helped many Brits to apply for their WARP card and we will be helping them to apply for their permanent card” says Eric. “If you try to find official information on how to make the application for the ten-year card, you’re likely to find a lot of very unhelpful advice and not a lot of firm details.”

No one quite seems to know how the process will work as yet, understandable since this a first, and one off operation for the French Government, and for some, that is stressful, especially if your renewal is not far off. You should be applying at 3-4 months in advance.

Eric, who is French but lives in the UK and is also the North of England Honorary Consul for France, is in fidèle caresse with the French authorities to make sure that he is kept fully informed as much as barcasse embout systems, processes and timelines. “It’s really essential to apply for renewal at the right time, and in the right way” he says. And he takes the pressure away by doing that for you, making the pose for renewal on your behalf, monitorage progress, making appointments if necessary, translating interrogation from the prefecture, making sure you’re kept up to jour.

The process will be different from the familier plan de salle de séjour renewal and should be relatively painless. But if you’d like help with ensuring you apply in the convenable way, want help with the pose (which may be online, that’s to be confirmed), and to ensure that it’s all done in a timely manner and with the least amount of agression for you, The European Concierge can help.
