The processing time for an online residence permit application via the ANEF platform can vary depending on several factors, such as the prefecture responsible, the type of residence permit applied for, and the time of year. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Average processing time

In general, an online application for a residence permit takes between 2 and 4 months to process. This period begins once you have submitted all the necessary documents and received your certificate of deposit via your ANEF personal space.

2. Variables influencing processing time

The deadline may be shorter or longer depending on several criteria:

Type of residence permit : Some permits, such as student residence permits or talent passports, can be processed more quickly. Others, such as “Vie Privée et Familiale” (private and family life) permits or permits for foreign nationals who are ill, may require longer processing times due to additional checks.

Prefecture: Prefectures process applications at different rates. In regions of high demand, processing times may be longer.

Time of year: End-of-year or summer periods, when there are fewer prefecture staff, can also lead to delays.

3. Application tracking

Once you have submitted your application, you can track its progress online via your ANEF account. You will receive notifications on the progress of your application by SMS or email, but the platform remains the main way to find out the status of your application.

4. In case of extended delay

If you have not heard from us after 4 months, you can contact the Citizen Contact Center (CCC) on 0806 001 620 to obtain information on the processing of your file or to check whether any documents are missing.

Conclusion

The processing time for an online application for a residence permit generally varies between 2 and 4 months, with exceptions depending on the type of application and the prefecture. In the event of delays or problems, online follow-up and contact with the CCC are your main options for obtaining further information.
