How to immigrate to France

France is a traditional immigrant country: 150 For more than 50 years, when other countries are affected by the high fertility rate, France has begun to take measures to attract talents from abroad and prevent negative population growth. French immigrants originally came mainly from European countries: France, Belgium, Poland, Spain and Portugal. Since the 1950s, immigrants from Africa have been increasing. At present, immigrants from Asia, especially South Asia, have increased.

In France, with the process of industrialization, there were two waves of immigration in the 20th century. The first time was the wave of immigrants rebuilt for World War II in the 1920s. The second time was the immigration tide due to national construction in the 1960s. 1946 France established the National Immigration Bureau to recruit foreigners to work in France.

Nowadays, people who immigrate to France come from all over the world, and 36% of immigrants plan to be naturalized. One quarter of people living in France now have an immigrant background. As of March 2005, there are about 6 million immigrants living in France.

immigration law

Foreign companies in France often send employees to work in France. In order to facilitate foreign employees and their families to work in France, the French government has simplified relevant administrative procedures and formulated clear and simple legal procedures. In addition, the tax and social insurance system will help offset the cost of foreign employees working in France, thus attracting more highly skilled talents and investors to immigrate to France.

Foreign employees from countries outside the European Union must obtain a long-term residence visa, a work permit (employment contract) and a residence permit printed with the word "employee" before they can come to work in France.

ANAEM (Immigration Bureau-former International Immigration Bureau) is responsible for issuing work permits and residence permits for senior managers. A manager is a senior employee who can make decisions in a company. They have considerable independence and freedom in the working hours of enterprises.

In order to enable foreign employees and their families (spouses or children) to enter France at the same time, they can apply for visa and residence permit registration at the French consulate in their country of origin. These procedures for accompanying families are also handled by the International Immigration Bureau. The validity period of the temporary residence permit is the same as that of the residence permit for foreign employees.

Planning naturalization/permanent residence

French nationality law is based on 1945 10 10/0/9 (after 1973, 1984, 1993 and19). It is based on land rights-even if parents are foreigners, they are French because their birthplace and residence are France; It is also based on the right of blood-no matter where you are born or where you live, as long as your parents are French, you can get French nationality.

There are three main ways to acquire French nationality:

1. Granting nationality: This means granting nationality to adults who have a legal residence permit in France for at least five years.

2. Acquisition: Foreign children born in France who have a legal residence permit of at least five years,1/kloc-0 to adulthood (according to Article 44 of international law) can acquire nationality. In order to enjoy this right,1993 (immigration law of July 22nd) and1998 (immigration law of March 6th) implemented the system of "expressing wishes".

3. After announcing the marriage with a French man or woman (the marriage age should be at least one year).
