Salut !

Ma copine et moi on part samedi matin de l’aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle à Paris et on vient juste de se rendre compte qu’un de nos téléphones n’est pas compatible eSIM 🥲

Du coup on cherche des retours d’expérience pour acheter une SIM physique à l’aéroport de CDG :

• c’est easy ou galère ?
• les prix sont corrects ou c’est full arnaque touriste ?
• vous conseillez quel opérateur ?
• et surtout, ça se trouve où exactement dans l’aéroport ?

Et si CDG est pas ouf pour ça, vous conseillez quoi à la place ? (boutiques en ville, centres commerciaux, kiosques, etc.)

Merci 🙏

Flying to Okinawa with Jetstar soon. My cabin suitcase exceeds the allowed thickness by about 3–4 cm, but the weight is within limits. I’m totally fine paying extra fees if needed, but online I can only find options for extra weight, not oversized cabin dimensions.

Has anyone flown Jetstar to Japan/Okinawa with a slightly oversized carry-on? Did they make you check it in, charge you at the airport, or were they flexible if it was only a few cm over?

Hi everyone,

I currently live in France and I have an APS (Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour) that allows me to work legally in France after my Master’s degree (post-master APS). I graduated last year and I’m currently in the process of changing my status to a salarié titre de séjour.

I’m planning a short trip to Japan and then returning to France afterward. My Japanese visa was issued in France while I was on this APS, and my APS will still be valid when I return.

Has anyone here traveled outside the Schengen area with this type of APS and successfully re-entered France? Any issues with immigration or airlines?

I’ll be traveling with:

• valid passport
• valid APS
• return ticket
• proof that my salarié titre de séjour application is in progress if needed

Would really appreciate hearing about real experiences before I book everything. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

My partner and I (both from paris) are heading to Okinawa for 6 days in late May. We’ll be spending our first 24h around American Village, then heading up north for the rest of the trip.

We already have a pretty solid list of beach / water activities planned for the northern part, but we’re curious about other things to do as well.

A bit about us: we both love dancing, photography, and we’re also tennis players. Would love any recommendations that fit those interests whether it’s cool spots, events, courts, or anything a bit different from the usual tourist stuff ( or not )

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I recently submitted my change of status application (towards a salarié/employee permit, CDI) through Démarches Simplifiées. My APS expires on July 17th and I'm starting to stress out.

The official platform says 28 days to 2 months best case scenario for Paris. But I've read elsewhere that the Paris préfecture themselves say 7 months on average when you contact them directly... so I honestly don't know what to believe.

What's also worrying me is that my application has been sitting in "déposé" (submitted) status for several days now, not yet moved to "instruction". Is that normal? How long does it usually take before someone actually looks at the file?

Has anyone done a change of status recently in Paris? How long did it actually take from start to finish?

In my situation, my APS expires July 17th and I'm on a CDI. I don't care about the actual card right now, I just need a récépissé or an attestation de prolongation d'instruction (API) to show my employer that my status is still valid and not lose my job. Is that something you get automatically or do you have to chase the préfecture for it?

Thanks in advance to anyone who's been through this 🙏

Bonjour,

J'ai déposé ma demande de changement de statut (vers titre salarié, CDI) via Démarches Simplifiées il y a peu. Mon APS expire le 17 juillet et je commence à stresser.

Sur la plateforme officielle, ils annoncent 28 jours à 2 mois dans le meilleur des cas pour Paris. Mais j'ai lu ailleurs que la préfecture de Paris dit elle-même 7 mois en moyenne quand on les contacte directement... je sais plus quoi croire.

Ce qui m'inquiète aussi c'est que ça fait plusieurs jours que mon dossier est en statut "déposé" sur la plateforme, pas encore passé en "instruction". Est-ce que c'est normal ? Ça prend combien de temps en général avant que quelqu'un touche vraiment au dossier ?

Est-ce que quelqu'un a fait un changement de statut récemment à Paris ? Combien de temps ça a vraiment pris ?

Dans mon cas, mon APS expire le 17 juillet et je suis en CDI. Je me fous de la carte pour l'instant, j'ai juste besoin d'un récépissé ou d'une attestation de prolongation d'instruction (API) pour prouver à mon employeur que ma situation est régulière et pas perdre mon taff. Est-ce que c'est quelque chose qu'on obtient automatiquement ou il faut relancer la préfecture ?

Merci d'avance 🙏
