Administrative assistance

French administration is a maze — even for the French. We know these procedures from lived experience, and we walk you through them step by step — in Arabic and French — until everything is in order, without stress or wasted time.

What we cover

  • School and university enrolment in France, Belgium and Switzerland (applications, deadlines, follow-up)
  • Visa file preparation and support through its steps
  • Residence permit and renewals
  • Housing search, rental file and guarantees
  • Essential subscriptions: phone, internet, electricity, transport, bank account
  • Any other procedure where you need someone who understands the system and speaks your language

Who is it for?

  • • Families sending their children to study abroad
  • • Students and interns preparing their departure
  • • Anyone who needs reliable support with francophone procedures

The format

Remote, à-la-carte support: we review files with you, prepare documents and follow every step through to the end — fee agreed in advance per service.

Consulates · companies · families on posting

A posting to France or Switzerland?

Consular staff, seconded executives, families relocating: we support the employee, the spouse and the children — from the language to the full move.

Professional and protocol French

Neither tourist French nor school French: the language of your posting — administrative correspondence, meetings, formal register.

  • Administrative correspondence and memos
  • Meetings, speaking up, institutional exchanges
  • Politeness formulas and protocol conventions
  • Vocabulary specific to your field

The Family Pack

A posting moves a whole family. One quote covers the employee, the spouse and the children.

  • 60 h of professional French for the employee
  • 40 h of everyday French for the spouse
  • Programmes matched to each child's age and level
  • School enrolment and the whole family's settling in

The complete move

We take on everything that worries you before departure, in Arabic and French, so you arrive with everything ready.

  • Residence and visas for the whole family
  • Housing, banking and subscriptions
  • Schools: applications, deadlines and follow-up
  • Support continued after arrival

Geneva and Switzerland: we know them from the inside

Switzerland is not a variant of France. We have guided colleagues and friends through these exact procedures:

  • B residence permit and cantonal procedures
  • Compulsory LAMal health insurance — the cost that surprises everyone on arrival
  • Cross-border worker status: living in France, working in Geneva, and its tax implications
  • International and public schools in Geneva
  • Housing, banking and subscriptions, on both the Swiss and French sides
  • Start within 72 hours
  • Schedule built around yours
  • Absolute confidentiality
  • Quote and invoice for your administration

Companies · hospitality · institutions

Your partners speak French. So do we.

An employee leaves on assignment, a French partner calls, a file must be put together in Paris or Geneva… Rather than looking for a provider abroad, delegate it to French nationals based in Saudi Arabia: same time zone, your language, and a deep grasp of both cultures.

Train your teams

Welcoming French-speaking guests, professional French for a whole team, vocabulary from your sector. Online or at your offices in Riyadh.

Prepare an employee on assignment

Internship, trade fair, presentation or posting: the language, the cultural codes and real-life practice before departure.

Your French-speaking relay

A French partner to call, an email to draft, a contract to understand, a meeting to prepare — we take it on for you.

On-the-ground support in France and Switzerland

Appointments, procedures, hotels, logistics: we organise your staff's stay as if we were there — because we have lived there.

Events · delegations · missions

Your project in France deserves a host who knows the ground.

A trade show in Paris, a factory visit in Lyon, a team seminar in the South, an official delegation to be received properly… We organise all of it from Riyadh, beside you and in your language: you speak to someone in your own time zone who knows France from the inside. And if you want us physically present on the day of the event or during the trip, we are there.

Trade shows & professional events

Choosing the right show, registration, booking and fitting out the stand, setting up meetings with the partners you want, and interpreting throughout.

Company visits & delegations

A complete programme: appointments, transfers, hotels, halal catering, and an Arabic- and French-speaking host from arrival to departure.

Seminars & team stays

Venue, accommodation, working programme and leisure programme, coordination of every French supplier — you receive a single invoice.

Representation & interpreting

Cannot travel? We go for you: a meeting, a signature, an inspection, a supplier follow-up — with a written report after every assignment.
