As of many countries, France has detailed immigration law *
EEC citizens ( 31 countries) are entitled to travel, work, and establish residence in France.
Non EEC citizens must have both a French work permit and residency card.
The type of residency card and work permit in France you should apply for depends on your personal and professional situation, notably:
- your nationality (EEC , EU, or non EEC)
- the length of your stay
- the reason for your stay in France ( level and details of your employment)
- your employer (your company abroad or the French subsidiary)
- your social security situation ( local registration or secunded contract)
- your salary level... etc
If you are to be accompanied by your family, your wife/husband will also need a residency card, and your children will have to comply with part of the application process.
- the length of your stay
- the reason for your stay in France ( level and details of your employment)
- your employer (your company abroad or the French subsidiary)
- your social security situation ( local registration or secunded contract)
- your salary level... etc
Depending on your status and the type of French residency permit and French work authorization you are applying for, a file is established and several French Administrative agencies may be involved in the approval and delivery process, chiefly:
- Pôle Emploi (French National Agency for Unemployment)
- DIRECCTE (Labour Department)
- OFFI (French Office for Immigration and Integration)
- The French Consulate in your country , delivering the French long-term visas
- The French Prefecture in France
The whole process for obtaining the work permit approval, and the delivery of the final residency cards, can take between 5 to 15 weeks, (depending on the type you are applying for), and will require, in all cases, an official medical check-up.

Regardless of the French work permit and French residency card you are applying for, and if you come with your family, be prepared to compile quite a few documents, including: passport, original of your diplomas, French CV (resume), original of marriage certificate, original of your children’s birth certificate, with French sworn translations, work contract, 3 last pay-slips etc...
