2. Moving to a foreign country is an
important life decision and one that
includes both pre- and post-arrival steps.
Expats need to understand the basic entry
requirements that apply to them
according to their nationality and the
steps that are mandatory once they arrive
in France, such as the needed
registrations with the authorities.

3. The first issue is to apply for a
visa or a residence permit that
suits their needs.
This is done before moving to
the country in the applicant’s
country of origin.

4. Moving to France is possible
when the applicant has applied
for and been accepted to a job
in France or when he or she has
family or a spouse already living
in the country.

5. Students can also remain in the country
based on their student visa and they
can choose to move to France once
they finish their studies.
In this case, their study permit will need
to be changed or renewed accordingly
to suit their new status in the country, as
an intern or an employee, as applicable.

6. Obtaining French citizenship
through marriage is possible
when the applicant has been
married to a French national for
a minimum number of years
and when he or she can meet
other requirements.

7. Relocation for retirement
purposes is attractive to
a large number of
foreign nationals.
Applicants will need to
show proof of a regular
income (pension,
income from renting
properties abroad or
another type of income)
that will allow them to
live in France.

8. Investors can also choose to
move to France under the
talent passport scheme – a
program that is intended for
non-EU-EEA entrepreneurs.
In this case, the process of
moving to France will depend
on the investor’s ability to
start a business with a
minimum investment as well
as create jobs.

9. This is possible through naturalization
once the applicant has been living in the
country uninterruptedly for five years, and
when he can also comply with other
requirements that concern language
knowledge and overall integration.
For many foreign nationals, the goal
of moving to France is to ultimately
obtain citizenship.
