Introduction of French immigration residence policy

As a romantic country, France always attracts the attention of immigrants from all directions. Here is a brief introduction to the residence policy of French immigrants. Welcome to read!

Residence policy of French immigrants

1. Establish a multi-year residence permit

Foreigners need to obtain a residence permit for one year when they first arrive in France, and then renew it every year. After five years, they can apply for a ten-year residence permit. This mechanism has caused many difficulties for immigrants to find jobs and housing, and the Ministry of the Interior believes that it is not conducive to the integration of immigrants. Therefore, a new bill was introduced to establish a multi-year residence permit. This is the most important and progressive reform in the bill of the Ministry of the Interior, and it will also cause controversy, involving 700,000 of the 5 million immigrants in France.

The bill proposed by the Ministry of the Interior stipulates that foreigners will get a one-year residence permit after settling in France. If he or she is the parent of a French child or the spouse of a Frenchman, he or she will get a residence permit for two years after the expiration of one year, and then he or she can apply for a residence permit for ten years after the expiration. In addition, immigrants who belong to the family reunion category can obtain a four-year residence permit after the expiration of one year's residence, and can apply for a ten-year residence after the expiration.

2. Launch the "Talent Pass"

For scientists, artists, investors, and all foreigners who are considered to have development potential, a four-year residence permit will be set up in the future, which is called a "talent pass". The Ministry of the Interior believes that the current one-year residence renewal is too troublesome, and it will take half a day to queue up at the police station, which will discourage the above-mentioned talents and is not conducive to France's favorable position in international talent competition.

3. Strengthening the effectiveness of expulsion

All these are related to the legal immigration policy, so the bill of the Ministry of the Interior has also made new provisions in combating illegal immigration. Governors will be given greater power to investigate immigration fraud and will exchange information with tax authorities more conveniently.

In addition, the bill establishes new measures to improve the effectiveness of deportation. At present, many foreigners have not been expelled after being notified of compulsory departure. To this end, the French Ministry of the Interior is considering shortening the appeal period of such foreigners * from the original 30 days to 7 days. The Ministry of the Interior will consider expanding the regulations prohibiting foreigners from staying illegally in France.
