I’ll preface this by saying that I’m conscious that processes, guidelines and rules can and do change over time, and who is aware of what’s going to occur within the new “Covid period.” That being mentioned, I’d love data / opinions on a state of affairs primarily based on the present lengthy keep visa necessities (pre Covid).Here is the state of affairs. My husband and I are planning to retire in France within the subsequent 5-8 years. We will each be of retirement age and may have ample assets in retirement revenue to qualify in that side. Neither of us plans to or must work in France.That being mentioned, my husband, who’s an impartial creator (I.e. he doesn’t do work for rent), may even have, above our ample retirement revenue, further royalty revenue. Not sufficient by itself to fulfill the revenue requirement for a visa, however it will be further revenue above retirement revenue. He additionally expects that he’ll proceed writing and publishing after we transfer to France.I’m making an attempt to know if this is able to be thought of working in France and subsequently in opposition to the foundations of a retiree/lengthy keep customer visa. Here within the United States, cash earned within the type of royalties is taken into account passive revenue (I.e. it isn’t thought of revenue earned from working). But I do know that what applies in France could also be utterly completely different than within the US.I’ve accomplished in depth analysis over the previous couple of years on the Retiree/Visitor Long Stay visa, but it surely solely just lately hit me that my husband’s writing/royalties may very well be a problem (he’s not a main blockbuster writer, so his writing doesn’t assist us, however his royalties have began to develop a bit just lately).Thanks upfront for any suggestions.
