I have been living in France for last three years on a VLS-T (Long Stay Visa -tourist) renewing it each year from France. I get a new carte de s茅jour each time good for a year. Does that count towards 5 years permanently residing in France?

@lisam2Well, their 'visa' will expire at the end of year one, but obviously remain in their passports. As long as they travel with you, they should be fine. DCEMs traditionally are more for under-18's travelling alone. Drop me a PM if you need ... Read More
