The €1800 Mistake That Will Get Your French Visa Denied

€1,800. One line on your bank statement. And it could cost you your entire French visa.

In this video, we break down the €1,800 financial mistake that trips up so many Americans applying for a French long-stay visa — especially retirees and early retirees.

This isn’t clickbait.

It’s a real requirement, a real misunderstanding, and one small misstep that can lead to a visa denial or serious delays.

We’ll walk you through:
What the €1,800 number actually means (and what it doesn’t)
Where people go wrong when showing proof of funds
Why consulates care how your income is structured — not just the total
Common banking and documentation mistakes we see over and over
How to avoid this problem before you apply

If you’re planning to retire in France, move abroad, or apply for a French long-stay visa in the future, this is one of those details you really want to understand early.
