Tired of French paperwork? There's a better way.
Not Reddit. Not ChatGPT. Bonjour Admin gives you answers sourced from French law and official data — personalized to your visa, your city, your exact situation.
7.7 Million Immigrants. Same Broken System.
Sound familiar?
France is home to 7.7 million immigrants — 11.3% of the population. Yet the admin system runs on 'ça dépend' and endless paperwork.
You called the préfecture. 45 minutes on hold. Then they hung up.
When you finally get through, they speak too fast, use jargon you don't know, and can't tell you what YOU specifically need. Going in person? Even scarier.
Reddit says one thing. An expat group says another. Both are from 2021.
Your case depends on your visa, nationality, préfecture, timing, and a dozen other factors. Expat forums are full of personal anecdotes — fragmented, outdated, and impossible to verify. What worked in Lyon won't work in Paris 14e.
Your titre de séjour expires in 47 days. Nobody told you.
One missed deadline can cost you your right to stay. Visa renewals, CAF declarations, tax filings, CPAM registration — the system sends zero reminders. And even when you do everything right, you wait months with no update, no explanation, and no one to ask.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. Bonjour Admin is an information tool that helps you understand French administrative procedures using official government data. For complex legal situations, we always recommend consulting a qualified immigration lawyer.
ChatGPT gives generic answers with no sources and can't keep up with France's constantly changing regulations. Bonjour Admin analyzes CESEDA law, service-public.gouv.fr, and official CAF/CPAM documentation in real time — every answer includes source links. We also accumulate real user experience data, so we reflect not just what the law says, but how things actually work in practice.
Visa & residency (VLS-TS, titre de séjour, APS, Talent Passport), housing (rental contracts, deposits, justificatif de domicile), financial aid (CAF — APL/ALS/ALF, RSA, Prime d'activité), healthcare (CPAM, Carte Vitale, Mutuelle), taxes (first declaration, numéro fiscal, double taxation), telecom & utilities, freelance & business (auto-entrepreneur, SIRET, URSSAF), banking, daily life (driver's license exchange, vehicle registration), and nationality acquisition.
Every answer includes the source link so you can verify. When the AI isn't confident, it tells you — and suggests consulting a professional. We never guess.
English, French, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, and Arabic. More languages coming based on demand.
Our database is continuously updated from official sources — CESEDA legislation, service-public.gouv.fr, CAF, CPAM, and tax authority publications. When laws change or procedures are updated, we reflect those changes and notify affected users. Every answer includes the source date so you can see exactly how recent it is.
