"Visa de long séjour temporaire visiteur - or VLS-T - this one is intended for visitors to the country, and is usually issued for six months although it can be less. A person with this type of visa does not live in France but wishes to pay extended visits here (more than the 90 days in every 180 permitted by the 90-day rule)."
"Visa de long séjour valant titre de séjour visiteur - or VLS-TS - this one is for people moving to France and is issued as a one-year visa. A person with this type of visa is considered a resident of France, which brings with it various responsibilities, as well as privileges like unlimited stays. Once the visa is issued, there is then a series of in-country admin tasks such as visiting the OFII offices and applying for a carte de séjour,"
France has two different visas commonly called the 'visitor' visa that serve distinct purposes. VLS-T (Visa de long séjour temporaire visiteur) is usually issued for about six months for people who wish to pay extended visits beyond the 90-in-180-day Schengen limit; it does not confer residency rights or tax obligations, cannot be renewed, and is often used by second-home owners. VLS-TS (Visa de long séjour valant titre de séjour visiteur) is a one-year visa for people moving to France; it confers residency, requires in-country formalities like OFII registration and a carte de séjour, and can be renewed after the first year. Visa choice may affect tax residency.
