Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « mobility »: this is not a formality, it is the filter that can close the file before the academic review even begins. The right move is to reconstruct your last 36 months, then check that you have not spent more than 12 months in France or Spain as your main place of residence or main activity. Then prepare the proof of residence for 2024, 2025 and 2026 in a single PDF, with an informal translation for any document not written in English. Apply only once this point is clean, because the rest will not make up for non-compliant mobility.
