Is this aimed at retirees, pensioners, financially independent people, passive-income holders or another profile?

The route is for non-EU nationals holding EU long-term resident status, which EU countries (except Ireland and Denmark) grant after 5 years of legal and uninterrupted residence. With that permit they can enter and settle in France without a long-stay visa; one of the cards they may request is the temporary 'visiteur' residence card.

Which types of income/assets are accepted according to the official source?

The official source requires stable and sufficient resources and health insurance; the resource test may include family members. The official source does not state which types of income or assets are accepted.

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

One of the cards open to EU long-term residents, depending on their situation, is the temporary "visiteur" card, which does not permit work (no work authorisation can be requested); spouse and children who lived with the holder in the EU country may accompany or join under conditions.

Limits of the record
  • Which card applies to an "Other Purposes" mover depends on the situation; F1375 lists the visiteur card only as one option.

How long is the status granted, what is required for renewal, what physical-presence obligations matter, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the duration, renewal, physical-presence obligations and longer-term direction.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched F1375: it only states the 3-month deadline to apply for a card after entry and the list of card types; no duration, renewal rule, physical-presence obligation or longer-term direction for the visitor card obtained by an EU long-term resident.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
