How do I move to Nice from the US?

Start with a French long-stay visa, secure a home (buy or rent), open a French bank account and register for healthcare. We coordinate the property and local logistics for you.

Can I buy before I get a visa?

Yes. You can purchase property before obtaining a visa; ownership can also support your long-stay visa application.
