Renovação do titre de séjour
In France, most residence cards (titre de séjour / VLS-TS) are renewed via the ANEF portal. The goal is to file on time and obtain a récépissé that protects your stay (and often work rights) while the file is processed.
Timing and general rules
- Start early: commonly between 4 and 2 months before expiry; students are often advised around 3 months ahead.
- Late filing can trigger surcharges and risk interrupting rights.
- After filing you usually receive an acknowledgement/receipt allowing you to remain — and often keep working under the previous card conditions — until a decision.
- Some profiles still go through the préfecture depending on category/local rules; follow ANEF or your préfecture instructions.
- Important: change of status (e.g. étudiant → salarié) is not a simple renewal and may need a separate work-authorisation path.
Common documents
- Valid passport + current card / VLS-TS
- Recent address proof (often under 3–6 months): bill, lease or attestation d'hébergement
- Photos when requested
- Fiscal stamp / renewal fee (confirm the current amount on Service-Public / ANEF)
1) Work renewal (salarié / temporaire / Talent)
- Valid employment contract + recent payslips
- Work authorisation when required for your mention
- ID and address proof
- Talent / Carte bleue: contract, qualifications and salary threshold for the category
2) Student renewal (étudiant)
- Current enrolment in a French higher-education institution
- Proof of serious studies (attendance, exam results, diplomas)
- Sufficient monthly means (thresholds updated by decree; from Aug 2026 guidance often refers to about 47% of gross SMIC — confirm the figure for your date)
- Health cover / Ameli when relevant + address proof
3) Family renewal (vie privée et familiale / regroupement)
- Most private-and-family-life categories via ANEF
- Ongoing family life proof (shared housing, civil status…)
- Sponsor / French spouse documents according to the legal basis
- Integration/language requirements may apply under recent reforms — check Service-Public for your profile
4) Long residence / carte de résident
- Long-term / EU long-stay cards via ANEF depending on category
- Continuity of residence and integration evidence when required
- ID, address proof and fees
ANEF steps
- Create/log into your ANEF account.
- Select the renewal matching your card mention.
- Upload documents and pay the required fee.
- Download and keep the récépissé for stay/work proof.
- Follow the request until card collection or a préfecture visit if asked.
