In another episode of hey France, you there? I document the past eight months of attempting to process the renewal of my French talent visa. Yes, if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that I have become the clingy one, and France is all… I think your Uber’s outside?

@@Alextds To be honest to re-design how a whole system works takes time, in this case a lot of time. You definitely would need their collaboration and patience to make it work. I'm not saying that everything is wrong, UI wise I like that website, but I think UX wise they would need actual user data to determine how useful that website is (to be used, not how it looks) so I can't say how good that website is to be used. Also, not to say that you aren't capable of that job, but leaving those kind of duties to an intern won't work, not in France and not in this universe. I have 7 + years of experience in this industry and there is still stuff I don't know or take lots of effort to complete successfully. You would need more like multiple teams to collaborate and tackle these problems.

They make it so that you really have to want to live there, not just waltz in on a whim. Don't forget, a French visa gives you access to the entire Schengen zone; that's no joke, that's access to 26 different countries.

I'm gonna thank my parents for having been through this process so I was born French already, this shouldn't be taken for granted
