How to become a French citizen?

Foreigners living in France can apply for French nationality. However, not all citizens can apply for naturalization. Because the applicant must have some conditions. These conditions are as follows: ● Conditions for living in France Foreigners who want to apply for French nationality need to live in France for five years before they can apply for naturalization. However, this residence period can also be shortened from five years to two years according to the situation, and the conditions are as follows:-If the applicant obtains a diploma from a French university; -The applicant has made an important contribution to France by virtue of his ability and talent; As long as the above two conditions are met, you can apply for naturalization after living in France for two years. In addition, if one of the following conditions is met, the restriction on staying in France can be waived, that is, it is no longer necessary to abide by the threshold of the length of stay in France:-If both parents or one of them is French, their minor foreign children need not live for five years to apply for French nationality; Foreign partners and adult children of naturalized persons do not have to abide by the residence limit if they apply for naturalization; -People who have served in the French army; In addition, according to the law of1999 65438+29 February, foreigners serving in the French army, usually serving in foreign legions, can be naturalized according to the proposal of the Ministry of National Defense. At this time, this naturalization does not require years of residence or mixed conditions. -Foreigners born in places where France exercises sovereignty, asylum and territorial rights. -people who have made great contributions to France or have special value to France (such as artists, intellectuals and outstanding activists). ).-People who have been granted asylum in France. -People from countries whose mother tongue is French can also apply for French nationality, regardless of the residence period. ● Although you don't actually live in France, it counts as a useful residence. In some cases, although foreigners do not actually live in France, they are counted as living in France. The situation is as follows:-people who engage in professional activities in foreign countries that are beneficial to France, and people who serve French institutions with special economic or cultural interests in foreign countries, regardless of their positions. Even if this person is a native of a foreign country, he has the right to apply for naturalization. -People who live in Monaco. -Those who have been sent abroad because of their service. ● There is also a necessary condition for applying for naturalization in France, and the applicant must "integrate into French society". This condition is stipulated in Article 2 1 Paragraph 24 of the Civil Code. This blend is basically manifested in mastering French and accepting French customs and moral habits. Everyone's mastery of French is different, depending on the applicant's social environment, professional characteristics, family status and so on. To this end, the administrative authorities are required to relax the conditions for the elderly and mothers with many children, and they cannot be treated with language requirements for others. The authorities will observe the French proficiency of applicants in two situations. First of all, the staff of the provincial government will meet and talk with the applicant after receiving the application, and the staff of the French consulate abroad will also evaluate his language level when meeting with the applicant. After such an appointment, French officials should make a record and list comments. I am worried that if the applicant is refused naturalization because of his poor French, if he feels that his language has passed the standard, he can appeal: first, appeal to the administrative authorities, which will let the authorities change an official to interview the applicant; The second is to appeal to the administrative court, which requires the court bailiff to measure your French level before it happens. Polygamy is a big obstacle for naturalization applicants in observing customs and habits. For this reason, if there is an actual polygamist, the application for naturalization will be rejected. This mainly refers to foreigners in North Africa and Black Africa. Good conduct is also a condition for applying for French nationality, and their conduct is also investigated by the authorities. This investigation is mainly for the administrative authorities to check the applicant's criminal record. The record of the sentence and the charges of conviction will be regarded as the reasons for the authorities to refuse the application. Although some people have been sentenced and pardoned, they will also be taken into account. Because being pardoned by itself can't eliminate the sentence that the party was sentenced for breaking the law. Not only in France, but also in foreign countries will be included in the investigation. Anyone who has not lived in France for more than 10 years must present the criminal record documents of the country (or country of origin) where he lives before applying for 10. It should be noted that not all sentences will be regarded as bad behavior. If you are sentenced for economic matters, you can consider it an exception. However, if you are sentenced for tax evasion, it can be regarded as bad conduct. In addition, pimping and trying to bribe civil servants are also important bad behavior crimes. Participating in activities and organizations that endanger public order in France, causing harm to French national defense, is regarded as bad behavior.
