Question that inspired this post:
I arrived in France with a passport talent family visa valid for three months. Should I validate my visa in the ANEF website and pay 200 euro, or I may directly apply for first titre de sejour and pay for it ?
Top Answer
"Usually 3 months visa doesn't need to be validated. You are required to apply for carte de sejour. But check your visa type. If your visa says vls-ts then you need to validate it and if it has vls written then you need to apply for residence card"

Based on the information provided in the search results, here's what you should do with your passport talent family visa:
You need to validate your visa within 3 months of arriving in France. This is a mandatory procedure for holders of this type of visa (except for minor children).
The validation is done online on the ANEF website (https://administration-etrangers-en-france.interieur.gouv.fr/particuliers/#/)[2].
You will need to pay a tax of 200 euros as part of the validation process. This is typically done through an electronic tax stamp purchased online.
After completing the validation, you will receive a PDF certificate that you should save, print, and keep for the duration of your stay in France.
This validation converts your visa into a residence permit.
If you wish to stay in France beyond the expiry date of your validated visa, you will need to apply for a renewal with the prefecture of your place of residence. This application should be made 3 months before the expiry date of your validated visa.
In summary, you should first validate your visa on the ANEF website and pay the 200 euro tax.
You do not need to directly apply for a first titre de séjour at this stage, as the validated visa serves as your residence permit for the initial period
