Hospitality certificates
The attestation d'accueil is a secure official document issued by the town hall. It is compulsory to host a foreign national from a non-European Union member state, for private or family stays. Its duration may not exceed 90 days.
Please note: the "attestation d'accueil" will be required for the visa to be issued. It is therefore necessary to anticipate this request.
Application form
The attestation d'accueil can be obtained on request from the town hall where the person is staying. A file must be completed by the host who will be welcoming the person concerned into their home.
A pre-application form is to be filled in, specifying the identity of the person being hosted and the host, as well as various information concerning the accommodation, family ties... The same form can concern a hosted family (spouses, children).
Several supporting documents must also be provided:
- Proof of identity;
- Recent proof of address;
- Deed of ownership or rental lease mentioning the surface area of the accommodation;
- Proof of income for the last three months, as well as the latest tax notice;
- Full details of the person being accommodated;
- If the minor is unaccompanied by his or her parents, a certificate from the persons exercising parental authority;
- The traveler's passport number;
- Insurance: the applicant must specify the health insurance conditions covering the hosted person's stay.
If the originals are not presented, or the file is incomplete, the request cannot be received.
Filing a complete application requires the purchase of a €30 dematerialized tax stamp. If the application is not validated, this amount will not be reimbursed.
Submission of applications is by appointment at the Town Hall and in the annex and local town halls.
