Naturalization for real estate buyers
A foreign citizen who has legally resided in France for five years has the right to naturalize and become a French citizen. To do this, you must pass a test for perfect knowledge of the French language and customs of the country, as well as confirm knowledge of the rights and obligations of a French citizen. The financial and living conditions of the applicant are carefully checked.
The period after which the naturalization process can begin can be reduced to two years if the applicant graduated from a French university or has a job offer or is already employed. Specialists of narrow specializations, athletes and those who served in the Foreign Legion are also eligible for benefits.
