a UK resident having a UK eVisa/share code (earlier known as BRP)
The standard processing time for France long-stay visas from UK is around from 2 to 6 weeks. This processing time depends on visa categories, seasonal demand, and additional verifications. This can sometimes extend to a month due to uncertain situations.

*** Remember that incorrect documents are among the biggest reasons for rejection. So, get professional guidance to arrange the documents wisely.
Many applicants often get confused between the long-stay visa and the residence permit. But they are different.
A long-stay visa allows you to enter this country legally and stay there for more than 90 days. Whereas, the residence permit determines how long you can continue staying in France.
Some long-stay visas act as a temporary residence permit, whereas with other categories you must apply separately for the residence permit. However, the misunderstanding can often lead to overstaying too. So make sure to get professional guidance about this distinction.
Often UK travelers get stuck with the appointment booking while planning a longer stay in France. If you are also stuck with this and finding it complicated to get the visa processed, then we are here.
