"Sufficient funds" means for self-employed French

[innermoonlight]

I have an appointment to bring back documentation for my application for Titre de Sejour as a Profession Liberale. (I do have a lawyer helping me with the application process). For my next appointment, I was told to bring bank statements to show "sufficient means to support myself'. This is very vague!

My biggest client paid me 60k USD at the start of the year for 6 months. I've been living on that and some smaller gigs since January. I have renewed with this client, but I have not yet received the payment. If it does not come in time, this could leave me with a balance of as little as $7k USD, but with contracts and due invoices to show for much more.

Since I am applying to be a self-employed person and not just a visitor, what should I expect the minimum financial requirements to be? I can't find information on this anywhere.

I'm not sure of the type of application you are making. I am familiar with general requirements for EU nationals and their family members.

Are you an EU national or a family member?

If this does not apply to you, then national law will prevail. You should ask your lawyer, who ought to be familiar with the requirements.
