\ud83c\udf00 RESIDENCE PERMIT: the silent chaos of french bureaucracy<\/h3>\n

Here is the story \u2014 and the words \u2014 of Anabela, an international student:
\n\u201cI submitted all my documents on time to get my residence permit. I received a positive confirmation. I checked the portal every week \u2014 it always said my card was \u2018in production.\u2019
\nSo I waited. For months. Then years.
\nWhen I finally got a response \u2014 from a different prefecture \u2014 they told me my card had been ready for over two years.
\nI was in shock.
\nAnd when I went there in person, they blamed me for not coming earlier. No text, no email, no way to book an appointment. I felt invisible.\u201d<\/p>\n

After exhausting every official channel, I finally contacted ENYTER. Their team listened, understood my situation, and supported me.
\nThanks to their persistence and knowledge of the system, I was finally able to retrieve my card \u2014 after more than two years of waiting.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what my story reveals \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n

\u2705 What worked
\n\u2022 My persistence.
\n\u2022 Finding the right people to support me.
\n\u2022 Finally getting my residence permit \u2014 and a huge sense of relief \u2728<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f What didn\u2019t work
\n\u2022 The administration\u2019s communication: no message to inform me that the card was ready.
\n\u2022 The impossibility of booking an appointment.
\n\u2022 The inability to book an appointment once my foreign national ID number had expired.
\n\u2022 No accountability from a system that left me behind.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcac \u201cI did everything right, and yet I was stuck. It wasn\u2019t my fault.\u201d<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udce3 Don\u2019t face these obstacles alone. Ask for help. You are not alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
