AFFILIATE LINKS: Using the links or emails provided here may result in me receiving a small compensation, which does not cost you anything additional and helps support my channel. I will only provide links to products or services I have used and purchased myself, and they may include items from brands I work with outside of this video.

TRANSFERRING MONEY FROM US TO EUROPE
👉WISE (for Currency Conversion) - Richard has a referral code for getting your Wise account setup. Any support from the viewer community is greatly appreciated. We both setup Wise accounts and it really has made money transfers much easier and faster. Plus WAY less expensive than me using Western Union. If you are moving to France, make sure to setup the Wise account as France (not US based account) so that you can use it for banking here and to eventually connect to your Carte Vitale account - so you can get reimbursed for out of pocket expenses once you have the Carte Vitale. Here is the link: https://wise.com/invite/dlpw/richardo...

LONG-TERM RENTALS
👉Help with Long-Term Rentals: I have used the services of Ibanista and learned a lot about the rental process and they supported me the entire way. I will also be using them for my next move here in France, it just makes it so much easier when someone else is handling the search and negotiations. You can check them out using this link: https://bit.ly/4qB7BFX

Language Learning
👉I use italki to improve my French but they cover many languages—1-on-1 w/a native speaker and scheduled at your convenience. You get a $10 credit if you sign up using my link: https://www.italki.com/affshare?ref=a...

Expat Insurance Needs in France
👉 I used this company for my initial 12-month expat insurance policy required to obtain a long-stay visa to enter France. I also use them now for my mutuelle and other insurance needs. They handle home, auto, and rental insurance, too. They are a great group of folks, and they guarantee that their health insurance packages will be approved for your visa application.
👉 Fab Insurance - Email [email protected] requesting a quote or to talk with someone about insurance options. No fees are associated with getting insurance quotes. And they speak excellent English. To clarify, you are not emailing me, and I do not work for them. This was the simplest way for them to track where the request came from.

Official French Translation Needs
👉 Several documents need to be translated into French for obtaining your Carte Vitale and exchanging your driver's license, and potentially other tasks like setting up a bank account (needs vary). This company is one of the officially licensed translators accepted by the French government and local government agencies. And they also speak excellent English. My necessary documents were translated with no issues.
👉 Go to https://www.trad24.com and use the coupon code "ExpatJeff" for 3€ off your translation quote.

Real Estate Concierge in France
👉 Send an email to Valérie Jenkins at [email protected]. Val speaks excellent English, and she has been my resource for finding rental properties here in Perpignan. She knows the trouble foreigners can have with obtaining a rental and works hard to find something that will work for you. She can tap into her network around France if it turns out that you are not looking for this region of the country. All I ask is that you mention that Jeff the Expat sent you so she knows I am working to help her grow her business.
