Update on France’s online residency portal

BRITISH EMBASSY PARIS

MONDAY, 3 FEBRUARY 2020

Good afternoon, Following my message last week, I wanted to let you know that the French Interior Ministry has updated its website on how UK citizens can secure their residency rights in France. The online portal originally built to receive residency applications in the event of no deal has now closed. An updated version will be re-launched at the start of July 2020. From this date, all UK nationals currently resident in France (or who become resident before 1 January 2021) will need to apply via this online portal for a new residence permit. This will formalise your rights under the Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU.

If you applied on the previous portal, you will not need to re-apply – your application will be processed by the appropriate Préfecture before the deadline.

So the key message today is that you should wait for the updated French online portal to go live at the beginning of July 2020 – and if you haven’t yet applied, there will be time to make an application later this year and in early 2021.

We will continue to post updates here and on our other social media channels as soon as we get any further information.

With my very best wishes,

Ed Llewellyn.

Brexit Day done. What next for the Pound?

Brexit Day has come and gone.

Not a lot happened to rates because not a lot has actually happened.

Investors are already focusing on the next Brexit hurdle – trade talks.

It’s been a topsy turvy week so far – that’s not a technical term by the way.

Pound Sterling has been pulled in different directions.

We’ve had the PM, Boris Johnson, drag down the Pound after signalling a lack of willingness to negotiate with the EU.

However, the UK economy has been improving since the election, which is driving the Pound back up.

Where does that leave us?

The best strategy may be to take advantage of the volatility.

As part of our service, we can monitor rates for you and alert you to favourable moves.

A lot of the time, people miss the rate they want because they only find out after it’s too late.

Taking a more pro-active approach may be helpful to you.

Rate Alert: Brexit Day Brings Opportunity

It’s been an eventful few months.

We’ve had the UK election, the passing of the Brexit bill and now Brexit Day itself.

If you’ve been delaying your currency requirements, there is no time like the present.

Looking at the past couple of years, the Pound is at attractive levels.

Since the summer alone, GBP is up 11% against the Euro.

You may wish to profit from the situation while you can.

The Pound has cleared three big hurdles, but that’s now in the price.

Currency markets are expected to remain volatile.

There’s always something around the corner that will catch people by surprise. That’s the inherent nature of political and economic events.

If you would like to mitigate some of your risk and take advantage of the recent moves, please get in touch today.

Only Days until Brexit. What Next for the Pound?

After a patchy start to 2020, Pound Sterling put in a strong performance last week.

The Pound now sits just below highs for the year against the Euro.

This momentum may be at risk in the week ahead.

On Thursday, all eyes will be on the Bank of England rate decision.

Futures markets are pricing in over a 60% chance of a rate cut.

If they go ahead and cut, the Pound could go into reverse.

What Next?

It’s now only days until Brexit.

While the legal formality is priced in, there’s a lot of uncertainty around what will happen in the coming weeks and months, and is likely to trigger much volatility in Sterling.

If you’re making a transaction soon, or are worried about future rates, please do call us 01872 487 500 to get further guidance.

Pound breaks out to best rate of the year

A bit of good news can make all the difference…

Pound Sterling surged against all the other major currencies yesterday after the UK recorded a 6-year high in business optimism.

The knock-on effect is the Bank of England is likely to back away from any interest rate cuts – which is Pound positive.

Pound Sterling now finds itself at new highs for 2020.

It’s also a reminder that there’s more to life than Brexit.

But alas, we all know the issue of Brexit will be back in the news soon enough. And that means exchange rate volatility.

So what should You do?

If you need to buy Euros and would like to take advantage of the favourable move, consider locking-in a rate.

If you need to sell Euros at present, you need to weigh up whether you can afford for the rate to fall further.

Although the GBP/EUR rate has been higher, it’s also been a lot lower too.

Sometimes certainty is the easiest path.
