Congrats again on 1k 🎉 I think this video will for sure be helpful for people in the future.
Thank youu! I hope so too:)
First time seeing one of your videos. As you probably already know, you are INSTANTLY likable in this video, and instantly trustworthy, so I appreciate all the good info you shared with such flair. In my case, however, I was more looking for info about the weekly Navigo I could use as a tourist, which you didn't really cover here. Might be something you could address in another video, even though that may be a bit outside your target audience. Either way, you are a natural at this! Merci bien !
De rien, thanks for watching!
That's very kind of you to say. You're correct, this video is for Paris/IDF rather than tourists, but I do have two other videos in the same series for tourists that may be a better fit for your needs.

Hii I'm 26 already but my university gave me a certificate that allows me to obtain a cart Imagine'R. Do you think it will be possible? 😢
I’m in Paris for 7 months as an exchange student so getting a year long card will be useless. What can I get?
Thanks for watching! Since you’re a student and I’m assuming under 26, I’d actually recommend you get the annual Navigo student pass. It’s longer than your stay but is cost efficient of 342 euros versus paying 84,10 euros a month for seven months which is far more money. Hope that makes sense.
How long does it take to receive imagine R
It takes about 2-3 weeks. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I am a student in Paris but I turned 26 in April 2022. Can I apply for the Imagine R travel pass by entering the incorrect DOB ? I have the certificate de scolarite with me. What do you suggest?
Hi, thanks for watching! That’s possible to do, but sadly they’ll likely catch you because you need to also provide a form of ID:// I’d ask your school and see if you can get a monthly Navigo at a discounted rate
I got the imagine R card in november and the subscription starts in December. Do I have to activate it or something? Because it is not working and I have to use tickets and its a huge nuisance.
Thanks for watching! There’s nothing you need to do to activate your card. I would check the date to see when the subscription starts. My subscription started on the 21st of the month for example. It’s likely that.
Always love your videos ❤️love your vibe
I honestly can't wait to live in France
That means a lot, thank you!! Wishing you all the best with your journey here🇫🇷Let me know if there are any topics in particular you’d like me to cover that I haven’t yet.
Can you put your card in a wallet that easy to show/scan but do you have to insert the card?
Thanks for watching! Yes you can. A lot of people put it on the back of their phone or on top of their wallet. Just make sure it’s easily accessible to scan
Thanks a bunch for this information.
You’re so welcome, glad it helps!
I'm about to move to Paris from the US at the end of the month, and this was super helpful bc you touched on basically everything I was curious about (so thank you), but I still have a couple of questions:
1. Do you know if the yearly starts on the first of the month you're applying for? So since I want it starting on Oct 1, 2022, it'll be good until Sep 30, 2023? Or is like Jan to Dec?
2. Even if you're working and are not a student or under 26 or anything, you can apply online and have it mailed (in France), right? I already have a fear of getting pictures taken at the DMV, the idea of a forever photo is giving me anxiety lol.
Thanks for watching! Congrats on your upcoming move, how exciting:)
I did the same exact thing as you. My navigo pass started on October 1st and expired at the end of September of the following year. And yes, as someone who works you can still apply online and have your card mailed to an address in France.
I understand your anxiety completely! Try your best not to overthink it too too much and maybe even practice in the mirror at bit.
After living overseas, you'll perfect your ID photo face.
Bonne chance!
Can I apply for Imagine etudiant from septembre 1, even though it's september 10 ?
Thanks for watching! I’d advise you to apply for October 1, so you’ll get the full month use of it. It’ll be helpful to do this as well when it’s time to renew next year.
Hey money debit after one month or on the spot after validation in installments
Thanks for watching! For instalments, they'll charge you on the 20th of the preceding month and its validity ends on the 19th of the month for which it is valid. Hope that helps!
You briefly mentioned getting a bank account in France. If you don't mind me asking, which bank did you end up using?
Thanks for watching! I opened an account with HSBC, but I’ve since changed to BNP Paribas and highly recommend using them. Should I make a video about this?
@@TheSavvyCScoop I would absolutely watch it if you do! I'm arriving in Paris next week and opened an N26 but since it's an online bank, I was acrually considering a switch to one of those two options later on since it's difficult to open accounts from the US
Is it normal that m'y pass doesn't have a visible chip?
Thanks for watching! I’m not sure what you mean by a visible chip, but as long as you buy it directly from RATP/IDF Mobilités you’re fine.
@@TheSavvyCScoop by chip I meant the magnetic chip
@@TheSavvyCScoop the thing we have under the photo on the blue side.
@@Misterjackkk I understand now. I don't have a magnetic chip on my card and it's always worked for me. I'm not sure what that chip does, but you'll be fine to use your card without one.
@@TheSavvyCScoop thanks for the answer
Tried to get mine today but neither of my American MasterCards worked online. Any idea of why not? Merci!
I used my Wells Fargo card and it worked for me after a few tries. So, I’d guess that it’s your bank thinking it’s a fraudulent purchase. Let then know you’re currently living in France and transactions in France and across Europe should be expected from you.
De rien🤗
Hi savy, thank you for these videos, really informative! I’m going to Paris for 5 days, I hope to see Versailles as well but I don’t know what ticket pass to get , please help your girl out 😢
Hi, thanks for watching! The best pass for you is the Navigo Découvert Pass. It’ll be perfect for your itinerary. Here’s a video I made about it:

Bonne vacances🤗🇫🇷
@@TheSavvyCScoop thank youuu!
How about saturday - monday? My 3days stay. Can i apply navigo pass?
Thanks for watching! Your best option is the daily Navigo pass (Forfait Navigo Jour). It’s unlimited and you pick the zones you would like access to. The cheapest is 7 euros and 50 cents a day and the most expensive is 17 euros and 80 cents a day. Here’s their website for further explanation:
www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/titres-et-tarifs/detail/forfait-navigo-jour
@@TheSavvyCScoop thank you!! one more thing, is the counter available at CDG airport?
@@potatohead6470 De rien! Yes it is available in CDG airport. Follow the signs in terminal 2 to find it. There's a whole area dedicated to SNCF/Navigo-IDF
I’m under 11 (LOL); just joking. This Navigo card is a really good idea and it’s nice you can pay in installments if the upfront fee is too expensive. Also, nice that your employer is willing to pay 50% of the price of the card. very informative video!
If you try it, let me know how it works hahaha
do you need a French phone number to apply ? and I assume I have to use my Paris address?
Thanks for watching! Yes, a French number and address is needed. For your number, you can go to Free mobile and get a SIM card there for just 20 euros a month. And for the address, just use an address in Paris that you have physical access to so when you card arrives you can pick it up. When I applied, I didn’t have a home address so I used my schools address. Hope that helps!
@@TheSavvyCScoop can you have a the SIM card delivered to a non French address with them ?
@@ellieholtom2829 Just now seeing this! I looked it up and sadly no. You have to physically pick up the SIM card in France, but it's available to use in most countries.
I am an exchange student and I will use Navigo only for 6 months, if I take installments do I have to pay the rest or can I terminate my installments
Thanks for watching! Your best option sounds like the Navigo Monthly where there’s no subscription. That way you pay each month then after your sixth month in Paris passes, you don’t have to pay anymore. Unless, you decide to stay longer or come back. Maybe ask your school if it’s possible to pay for all six months at once, I know someone who did for only three months.
Hope that helps!
@@TheSavvyCScoop hey, there is no any student discount in navigo monthly, right?
@@kinia24154 Hi, no there isn't a Navigo monthly student discount. However, you can pay for the annual pass in installments like you would a monthly card.
how do you sign online?
Thanks for watching! There was no need for an electronic signature, rather they verify your identify. I uploaded a scan of my passport. Hope that answers your question, let me know if it didn't.
