Relocation Agency for Professionals

We've engaged Your Friend in Paris (YFIP) for help with immigration services. They've helped us with the seemingly overwhelming tasks of getting our first apartment, our first French bank account, with our first VISA renewal and with getting our Carte Vitale. Every single time, they've been absolutely great - with the excellent American style level of customer service, communication, and overall just so, so knowledgeable.

There are a lot of companies out there doing the same thing, but I will always recommend YFIP for help with anything. They also are building and following up on creating a community of their clients, and honestly? That speaks volumes for what their overall care and concern is for you, if you make the good decision to work with them. Their clients are all super interesting, fun, and wildly well-traveled people. It's like a big bonus that you didn't realize you needed.

Justyna, David, Irene, Seville, and Michael W., you're all just so fantastic. Thank for you making our first year here in France so much easier for us.

Among the many relocation firms, YFIP stands out. There is a plethora of information across social media about moving to France. A major influencer recommended YFIP to me, I met the team in December of '25 and here I am, with my visa validated, in a beautiful apartment near Alexander Dumas's Château. David and Seville gave me clear-eyed advice for my visa application. Sophie did an incredible job; not only helping to find this apartment, but also setting up the initial contacts for utilities, internet, property insurance, etc. She also liasoned with the bank, so I could open an account. And last but not least, all along the way, Michael, a former client and their current community liaison specialist, answered questions, was supportive in every possible way and a true friend. I simply cannot recommend YFIP in Paris highly enough. Thank you each and every single one.

I highly recommend this company for anyone moving to Paris. They handle everything you could possibly need. I needed it all. Finding and applying for my apartment, setting up utilities, obtaining my bank account, applying for health care, etc. They can also help with getting your Visa. They are always available to answer my many questions and put my mind at ease. I know I could not have made my Paris retirement dreams come true without them. It doesn't just stop there. The relationship has continued even after these things were settled. They are still my go to whenever I have questions and they have events where you can meet like minded people and develop a community. They truly are Your Friend in Paris!

I retained Your Friend in Paris (YFIP) to assist me with my move to France. Moving to another country can feel overwhelming so I wanted to find a full service relocation company to help me through the entire process. I am so glad I found YFIP. I just received my visa this week and my experience with YFIP has been absolutely amazing! Seville has been such a pleasure to work with. She was super helpful and responsive to all my questions ensuring I was fully informed of all that was required to make sure my visa application was complete. My meeting with David was extremely informative and he fully prepared me for my visa appointment. Both Seville and David made the whole visa process as smooth as possible. It is very obvious that YFIP is a highly professional organization that truly cares about its clients and in providing top-notch customer service. I would highly recommend YFIP for anyone looking to move to France. I am looking forward to starting my apartment search with them very soon. I have the utmost confidence that this process will go just as smoothly!

After struggling to make any progress on my own, the team were able to find an excellent apartment in a few months. They also assisted with the move-in process and advised on some moving out issues. Overall, strongly recommend for any expat looking to rent in Paris. It's well worth the cost given how hard it is to navigate solo.

Your Friend in Paris helped me obtain my visa. Seville was so helpful and responsive, even with the time difference. She answered all of my questions and helped me assemble the correct documents. The call with David prior to my visa appointment was informative and reassuring. The process would have been so much more difficult and stressful for me without their assistance.

We had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Your Friend in Paris. We were struggling for a while with our move from abroad, but after hiring YFIP for the project, things progressed rapidly and we completed our move within a month.

Their service was professional throughout, with clear and frequent communication and versatile support from sourcing listings, facilitating apartment visits virtually, lease review and support on finalising deals for utilities.

We can highly recommend YFIP for anyone looking for support moving to Paris.

Your Friend in Paris has helped me tremendously, especially in looking for an apartment here in Paris. The communication was always straight forward, clear with each step listed, they are attentive to our specific situation and provided the best solution possible. I really appreciate Anna's help in finding an apartment that I really like here in Paris, and I would recommend the team of Your Friend in paris and their services.

When I first started looking into moving to Paris from the US, I quickly realized that I would need help. There are a number of relocation services out there, and I chose Your Friend in Paris. I was impressed (still am!) by how the various aspects of the move (immigration, housing, health care, etc) are each handled by a staff member who has expertise in that area and yet together they all worked like a single, well-choreographed unit. The synergy between and among the different staff is really remarkable. Thoughtful, thorough, reassuring, all of these nuances were part of the wonderful services delivered by a conscientious and knowledgeable team. They have always exceeded my expectations, and I could not recommend them more highly. Thank you David, Kattin, Elena, Justyna, Liz and team for making my move here so easy. Really, thank you.
