When you’re looking at a pile of French paperwork, knowing how important it is, wouldn’t it be wonderful to get help with your French Administration requirements and just call on someone to sort it all out? That’s where French Admin Assistance step in – they’re a team that sort things out quickly.
Based in Dordogne, the team help people all over France – their mission is to help others live their dream life in France. In real terms, this means providing the most up-to-date, practical information for English-speakers in France that will save them time, energy and money. That means they can focus their energy on their family, their work and all the wonderful advantages of la vie française.
Whether you need support setting up healthcare or dealing with healthcare issues, sorting out tax declarations, organising schools, residency card renewals, setting up a bank account, swapping your driver’s licence, setting up utilities, registering a car, making a phone call, filling in forms – Andy and Gemma at French Admin Assistance can help.
“The stories of French bureaucracy are not exaggerated,” admits Andy. Even simple day to day admin can sometimes seem challenging. And if you’re not fluent in French, or don’t have time to deal with things, then a bit of help makes life less stressful.
“People sometimes just don’t know how different the French system is from the one they’re used to in the US or UK for instance” says Andy. “So many aspects of life here, from healthcare to taxation have a radically different approach from that in America or Britain. All that knowledge you accumulated before emigrating has to be relearned so you can’t take anything for granted. It can cause confusion and frustration because sometimes it just feels like nothing is as you might anticipate, and in turn that can be extremely tiring and distressing. But we deal with this day in and day out – we know how systems work, we know what information is wanted and we know how to help you.”
And the team don’t just help resolve admin issues, they’ll help you understand how to access systems, where to find information so that you get more comfortable with the daily requirements.
Unlike many companies that support expats, French Admin Assistance offer a personalised approach that suits all requirements – from a pre-paid 4-hour support package, to a pay per task rate, so you choose whether you need just a little help, or more. Being able to pick and choose what you want help with makes this a really affordable option, as you’re not paying for something you don’t use. And you’ll sometimes be amazed at how quickly they can resolve an issue that has taken you hours.
The team are approachable and friendly – they have a wealth of experience dealing with French admin in all areas of daily life and nothing phases them!
Don’t spend hours staring blankly at the bank clerk or wrestling with Google Translate to make sense of a form, get a little French Admin Assistance – and get on with enjoying French life, red tape and all.
