There are no customs fees for importing your household goods into France, and you do not need to provide a removal list. However, special regulations apply to works of art, medicines, weapons including ammunition, and cash once it exceeds a certain amount. An export license plate is required for moving with your car. For the new registration in France there are also some formalities to be taken care of, with which our relocation experts are very familiar. As a German citizen, you do not need a work permit or a residence permit in France. However, it is advisable to apply for a residence permit within three months at the competent police authority or at the town hall, as this will facilitate some official procedures. Your obligation, on the other hand, is to register with the competent French tax office by presenting your identity card.
France is the largest country in the EU. It stretches from the Mediterranean to the English Channel. The French appreciate elegance, art, excellent cuisine and fine wines. Art and culture are recognized worldwide. With 12.3 million people, the Paris metropolitan area is home to the largest number of inhabitants. France is divided into 18 regions, five of which are overseas.
Due to a relatively high birth rate, the population development is currently still stable. This is also due to a forward-looking family policy. For example, pre-school education is already offered in kindergartens at the age of two. Kindergarten attendance is all-day and essentially free of charge. In contrast to Germany, the education system is centralized. Emphasis is placed on selection and the formation of elites.
Our moving guide has valuable tips for you. Important to know: In France, there is only the state health insurance, which in turn is divided into four types of funds according to occupational groups. In addition to this basic coverage, it is advisable to take out supplementary health insurance. For the first residence in France an annual residence tax is due. It is advisable to learn the French language in good time. Also, do not forget to deregister your previous residence in Germany.
