I spent a year waiting for my residence permit, necessary for my work. The daily stress: How long will my employer tolerate having an employee in an irregular situation due to the slowness of the prefecture? Everything is now back to normal, and I will never thank VisaPref enough for their help!
Situation: Renewal of employee residence permit
The prefecture did not even bother to look at my mother-in-law's file for 18 months. She scrupulously respects the laws of the Republic. With the help of VisaPref CEO we were able to finally get an appointment at the Prefecture. She can now enjoy her grandchildren without worrying about her situation in France.

Antonin Gavrel
Founder of VisaPref
I have always been committed to helping others and defending justice. It is in this spirit that I studied law at the University of Paris II, while developing innovative digital solutions in parallel.
For over ten years, I have had the opportunity to support several loved ones facing complex and Kafkaesque situations with the prefectural administration. This experience has allowed me to better understand the workings of a system that is often overwhelming for foreign individuals, yet fully integrated and actively contributing to our society.
I am convinced that France would be greater if it treated foreigners who respect our laws and participate in the economic and social life of our country better.
