Stages of Obtaining French Citizenship with Relocitizen's Support

Relocitizen starts by legally assessing the grounds for obtaining citizenship: length of residence, existing residence permits (temporary or permanent), tax and employment history. Based on this analysis, we develop a personalized strategy for obtaining a French passport according to French law. Our specialists will explain the procedure, timelines, and required documents for a successful application.

Relocitizen lawyers help you gather and prepare the document package, including certificates of no criminal record, proof of income, tax declarations, and residence certificates. All materials are translated into French. We ensure that each document meets the requirements of the French Ministry of the Interior and will pass inspection without any issues.

After document preparation, Relocitizen lawyers form your dossier for submission to the local prefecture. We submit the application on your behalf, register your case, and manage all communications with government authorities. At this stage, our specialists will also prepare you for an interview about the French language and culture.

French authorities will verify information about your residence, tax payments, income sources, family status, and level of integration into society. Relocitizen specialists accompany you in dealings with government agencies, provide additional documents upon request, and monitor the timelines for processing, which usually range from 12 to 18 months.

After the review, the Ministry issues a decree granting you French citizenship, which is published in the Journal officiel de la République française. We inform you of the decision and provide advice on the next steps.

In the final stage of our cooperation, you participate in the oath ceremony to swear allegiance to France. You will then receive your citizenship certificate, and Relocitizen specialists will assist you in obtaining a French passport and national identity card (Carte Nationale d’Identité).

Stages of Obtaining French Citizenship with Relocitizen's Support
Countries Open for Visa-Free Entry with a French Passport
Visa Free — 123 countries
French citizens enjoy visa-free access to 123 countries, including all EU and Schengen Area states, as well as popular destinations such as Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Turkey, and Argentina. This allows for free travel across most of Europe, Asia, America, and Africa.
Visa on Arrival — 42 countries
French citizens do not need to obtain a visa in advance for 42 countries, including Australia, India, Maldives, Saudi Arabia, and others. However, upon arrival in these countries, entry permission will need to be obtained at the airport or border.
ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) — 9 countries
To visit 9 countries, French citizens need to obtain an electronic visa, which is processed online a few days before the trip. These include the UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Israel, and others.
Trips to the USA and Canada: Special Conditions
French citizenship makes the process of entering the USA and Canada easier compared to Russia. In 2023, the visa refusal rate for Russian citizens with B-1/B-2 visas was around 39.5%, reflecting a stricter visa policy compared to countries with stronger passports. French citizens only need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) for Canada when flying, whereas Russians must undergo the full visa process.
