Book a free 30-min callYour prefecture
Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and Biot sit in the arrondissement of Grasse, so the sub-prefecture in Grasse is your reference point rather than Nice. The public counter there opens Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 1pm, for information and France Titres procedures, with a digital access point for people who need help online.
Residence applications themselves are filed on the ANEF portal. Being in the right arrondissement matters less for where you go than for whose practice applies to your file, and practice does vary.

Local reality
The first five year Withdrawal Agreement cards were issued in 2020 and 2021 and are expiring now. Antibes has a large British population, which means a lot of these files are landing at once. Ours are handled from €395.
Crew, technicians and seasonal marine staff often have working patterns that sit awkwardly across borders. Days in and days out of France are not a detail on a residence file, they are the file.
School places drive the calendar here. When the move is decided in spring, the administrative sequence has to be compressed, and sequence errors are what cost months.
What we handle in Antibes
Juan-les-Pins, Biot, Villeneuve-Loubet, Vallauris and Golfe-Juan. Almost everything is handled remotely, so being fifteen minutes further up the hill changes nothing.
Antibes, in practice
No. The five-year cards issued in 2020 and 2021 under the Withdrawal Agreement have to be renewed on application, before the expiry date. Antibes has one of the largest British populations on the coast, so a lot of these files are landing at once. We handle them from €395.
After five years of continuous residence you are usually entitled to the permanent ten-year card rather than another temporary one, and periods before and after the transition both count towards it. Which route applies depends on your own history, which is what the first call is for.
