France's new immigration policy: no need to renew residence every year

In June of 5438+08, the two houses of the French Parliament finally passed the Law on the Rights and Interests of Foreigners. This is a motion put forward by the socialist government. The right-wing opposition party said that once it came to power, it would promote the abolition of the law. The following are the main points of the bill detailed by AFP:

Legal immigrants have more rights and interests.

Establish a multi-year residence permit:

Foreigners can obtain a residence permit for two to four years after obtaining a residence permit for one year. The condition is that you must prove that you are trying to integrate into and seriously participate in various training courses stipulated by the state, especially language courses. If a foreigner poses a threat to public safety, his residence permit can be revoked.

Foreigners can apply for a long-term residence permit of 10 years after obtaining a multi-year residence permit, provided that they have reached the level of French A2 (can read simple articles). Parents of French children, French spouses, can naturally obtain permanent residency after three years. Elderly immigrants with "Retiree Residence Permit" can also obtain permanent residency.

Establish a "passeporttalent" multi-year residence permit that can be obtained at the beginning of entry;

Beneficiaries include nine categories of foreigners, namely scientists, artists, investors and young graduates recruited by innovative enterprises. About 1 10,000 people can get this residence permit every year.

Sick foreigner:

The current law allows such foreigners to come to France for treatment, which may bring him particularly serious consequences if his country "lacks" medical means. A new clause has been added to the draft law, that is, if his country has the corresponding medical means, but he does not enjoy it, he has the right to come to France to see a doctor. A team of doctors from the French Immigration and Integration Agency (OFII) under the Ministry of Health will be responsible for reviewing the application materials, not the doctors from the regional health bureau. Parents of sick foreign children treated in France can get temporary residence permits.

Other provisions:

If a child was born abroad and his parents are foreigners, he arrived in France before the age of 6 and has been living in France since then, or one of his brothers and sisters has French nationality, as long as he declares that he wants to be naturalized as an adult, as long as he has received compulsory education in a state-controlled school, he can get it. But if some people can't prove that they have been naturalized or loyal to France, the state can veto their naturalization declaration.

For victims of domestic violence or people whose marriage is threatened, the extension of residence permit can be more convenient.

Deportation is faster and the constitutional police have more power.

The time limit for rejected asylum seekers to appeal against expulsion orders has been reduced from 30 days (common law) today to 15 days in the future. House arrest will become a routine. The measure of being sent to the administrative detention center is limited to immigrants who may escape. Under extremely special circumstances, minors can be placed in detention centers. The security forces can take the people concerned to the consulate by coercive means and get the necessary passes to expel them, even if they are on duty.

For foreigners detained in administrative detention centers, the release and detention judge (JLD) must ask about the case after 48 hours, instead of 5 days from 20 1 1. The maximum detention time is still 45 days.

For European nationals who seriously disturb public order or abuse the right of way, the Governor can ban them from entering the country for three years. According to the independent organization Défenseurdesdroits, this provision is aimed at Roma in Romania and Bulgaria.

In order to crack down on fraud, the governor can ask schools, banks, social insurance institutions and energy suppliers to provide relevant information about foreigners who apply for residence permits or hold residence permits.
