What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?

Other conditions are habitual residence established outside France and a pension from a French basic social-security scheme. The application is filed at the prefecture of the applicant's home within the 2 months before the current residence certificate expires. The certificate allows entry at any time for stays of up to 1 year without a visa; it is valid for 10 years and renewable, and renewal requires a sworn statement that no stay in France with the certificate exceeded 1 year.
