In 2008, France officially launched the "residence permit for outstanding talents" for China.

The validity period is 3 years, which can be extended once, with a total validity period of 6 years.

It is faster and more convenient to apply for a residence permit for outstanding talents than a visa, and the embassy has the direct decision-making power. There are three kinds of people who meet the application conditions:

The first is students and researchers with very high education level, who already have specific research plans;

The second type is entrepreneurs who want to set up a company in France. The scale of the enterprise does not need to be large, but at least two employment opportunities should be created.

The third is an artist or an athlete. Specifically, an artist needs to conceive a work or create a drama in France, or a high-level athlete needs special training in France.
