Legal Services
in Paris
The capital of France. Préfecture, APS, work, family matters, business.
Paris and Île-de-France are home to the largest Ukrainian community in France. The Paris préfecture de police has its own appointment and review procedures for extending an APS (autorisation provisoire de séjour), switching to a titre de séjour, and family reunification. Without professional support, it is easy to lose months.
The Zahist office in Paris handles cases in the French and Ukrainian jurisdictions: status, work, family, business — with one team.
