The major changes to the website structure are listed below

Update May 20, 2021

Since we started campaigning under the 180daysvisa free banner to make it easier to access France there have been two significant changes 

• the visa income requirements were made less onerous

• the EHIC and GHIC are considered to be adequate medical insurance for those seeking a VLS-T (4-6 month) visa. 

Both of these changes have made it easier to stay in France for an extended period without contravening the 90/180 rule.

The 180days team paused its efforts to bring about any bilateral arrangements or a simplified visa. and stopped planning any more correspondence. They keep things under review.

A new website 180daysinfrance was developed and the old-website was left in place but not updated

Update December 31, 2021

The crib-sheets were substantially updated in December - click here 

A new section has been added which discusses how to maximise your time in France under the Schengen 90/180 day rule - click here

The team is aware that there has been some commentary in France about the adverse effect of the 90/180 day rule on the French economy. We will keep this under review.
