If the UK is made a special case Nigelbb maybe ,however most prefectures ask for Avis d’impots which you will not have if not a french resident for tax purposes .
It’s so long ago that I cannot recall the actual process but I do know that I had a CDS in my first year in France before I ever received my first Avis d’impôt.
Yes if it’s your first year in France you’re entitled to apply, and of course won’t have the previous year’s tax return.
Depending on your status, a job contract, self-employment registration or statements showing the amount of a pension should be sufficient, though it depends on the prefecture.
I doubt your first Cds was valid for more than a year though .
Just picked up mine this morning after a 10 month wait.
Further to my earlier posting on this subject. We had a rendevous at Vannes in July. Very straightforward and were not asked for any documentation to be translated. Seemed to make it easier that we have been here longer than five years. We picked ours up in August after around a six week wait. It says that it is permanent but also valid for ten years. So I am not sure what this means. I expect that when the mess that the UK has made of all this is sorted out we will have to apply for another, different non european card.
A little tip if you are trying to get a rendevous at Vannes. Go on their website on a Monday morning early. I tried at about 8 a.m. but they may be on the site from midnight but I am not sure about this. It seems that this is when the new rendevous slots are posted. You will probably have to wait two to three months but you should get one ok. If you wait until the Tuesday they will probably be all taken for that week. I had been trying for ages before a friend told me about looking early on a Monday.
Hope this helps and good luck.
We haven’t got one or even considered applying for one. We’re in the ‘wait and see’ group I think. Also, knowing the way French bureaucracy works even if you have one now it won’t be valid post-Brexit so you’ll have to apply for a new document. I think it should be called BOBWITS (Because of Brexit We’re In The Sh*t)!
I’m with you Marie.We’re waiting to see what transpires.Hopefully Johnson will fulfill his threat and end up dead in a ditch.A lot of people have dug one for him.
An item this week on the French Property website: Brexit and ‘No-deal’.
The online application system referred to is mentioned in an official French press release, though it’s not planned before October. And regardless of whether you have a current card or not, we will all have to pay 119€ for the new one, according to the French Property item.
When we went to the British Embassy talk V K they said that if you already have a TDS then it is just a straight swop and no charge, unless the French have changed their minds.
They are allowed to change their minds but Leavers are not.
If it is the case that expats that already have a TdS are not charged for the new card, I hope they’ll do the same for expats that have applied and been told that cards have stopped being issued.
If there is a no deal on 31 January then people with a permant resident card (5 years plus) can simply exchange it for a non-EU one; residency will be assured.
Otherwise any cartes de sejour for fewer than five years will become invalid and people will have to apply from scratch for a third party card, albeit with simpler and more generous terms than for other third party nationals.
Either way the French government has fixed the cost at €119.
If there is a deal cards will still be needed, but will be free.
And if there is no Brexit at all ( which is a possibility too ) things will calm down again on this side of the channel but not on the other side !

Have you got sources for all that, Jamie? Or is it what you’ve assumed from all you’ve read? (BTW, it’s 31 October for the moment, unless you know something we don’t)

The only thing likely to be close to no Brexit is yet another extension, putting off once again the evil day.

The French government has confirmed €119 in the event of no deal.
More here:
31 October only if parliament votes for no deal, which they won’t. Otherwise an extension to 31.01.20 is the legal minimum.

I hope so! The best thing for everyone is to revoke and forget Brexit, so the government (not a Tory one!) can actually get on with a domestic agenda.
Not a TdS but i’ve just applied for a renewal of my Carte d’Identité. My partner renewed hers a couple of years back in the Haute Vienne which took about two weeks but here in the Tarn I have to wait six weeks !! The lady in the Mairie said that the delays were due to an increase in Cd’I demands plus the staff cuts issued by Macron.

Yup , a looney left government tempered with a bit of liberalism and snotty scottys , plus a dash of ancient tories and treehuggers should do the trick . All the Ultra right back to their castles and drinking parlours !
