J’étais dans le même bateau Andy

I saw this story in today’s Times and I felt Andy’s pain.

Since Brexit, working in Europe has become much more difficult.

I think footballers and, presumably coaches, usually take advantage of a passeport talent visa – which is the type I got when I went to work at Euronews.

But I guess, in Andy’s case, if they think there are other candidates with similar skills in the country you don’t get one.

Now that I am trying to set up my own business in France I need a change of visa.

My passeport talent is for a salaried employee which is not me anymore.

But getting an appointment to change it – and knowing how to change it and what documents are needed – is proving to be very complicated.

No surprise there.
