Upon your arrival in France, the very first thing to do is to validate your visa and ask for a residence permit (titre de séjour).

The process will guide you step-by-step and is exclusively taking place online : https://administration-etrangers-en-france.interieur.gouv.fr/particuliers/#/

Specificities for Algerian nationals : Citizens from Algeria are requested to follow a separate process. Please refer to the 'Renewal process'.
