HI, great video! There was a lot of good information. My question is would I be able to work in France with a Long stay visa? or could I at least do a job search with it? I have been told that I will be able to work in France with a visa but how can I extend it if I find a job? Also, I watch a lot of these types of videos regarding moving to France and visas and such but a lot of them do not mention the financial side to this. How much is enough to make the move to France possible? How much funds should one have so that his Visa does not get denied because of not having enough funds? Would Really appreciate it if you could give me more information regarding this.

[@Improver12]

how are you

[@tiktokquest8951]

Thank you so much for the video. May I ask if my au pair visa from the Netherlands can be changed to a working visa once I get a job there in France? Thank you. 🙇

[@expatinfrance]

Hello, no, you'll need to request the relevant working visa from the French consulate in the Netherlands as long as you visa is valid. Past the validity, you'll need to request your French visa from your home country. All the best to you!

[@harisankarma]

Hello Giga First of all, thanks a lot for making such informative videos! I have a question regarding the Employee Visa. You said for such visas, the taxes are paid by the company. But my company HR disagrees. Could you please confirm this? It would be of great help if you could send me some link mentioning this. Thanks Hari

[@expatinfrance]

Hello, I confirm the employer should request the work authorisation and also pay the tax. You will find the whole process explained on this official website (in French). www.demarches.interieur.gouv.fr/particuliers/autorisation-travail-etranger-salarie-france All the best to you

Hi, I found your video very informative. Thank you so much for making this video. However, I have 1 question related to my current situation...I have just got a CDD work contract, I am currently staying in Norway, holding a Residence permit (job seeking permit) of Norway. I wonder if my future employer will still need to request work authorisation from DIRECTE ? Thanks in advance for your response. :)

For the skilled employee visa, is it necessary to have a Masters degree from a French school only? In my case I have an Advanced Masters Degree from a Belgian Triple-accredited Business School - do I still qualify for the skilled employer visa? Thanks in advance!

[@David-mt1qm]

hello mo, did you find an answer to this question? I just have a uk diploma and not sure if that would be sufficient, thanks

[@expatinfrance]

Hello, the visa salarié qualifié only applies to people with a French higher degree. If you don't have a French diploma, the visa salarié will apply. Here is the detail of the several Talent passport visas criteria (in French): www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F16922 Good luck to you!

Hello Esha, thank you for your comment. If you do not reside in France you do not need a visa. Working for a French company in your home country doesn't require any type of visa. And it is not possible to have a resident permit for France if you are not residing in France at least 9 months - more than 6 months could sometimes work but 9 months is the threshold

[@expatinfrance]

@@chandreshprajapati2350 unfortunately, it is not possible to convert a visitor visa into any other visa (except the French spouse visa but you will still get a lot of scrutiny...) You will have to go back home to request the correct entrepreneur visa. Good luck to you!

Hi

[@sonphamngoc7981]

Bonjour, je suis employeur et j’ai réussi d’avoir Autorisation de travail favorable pour ma salarié résident au États Unis. On aimerait bien savoir, dans la rubrique YOUR PLANS : bussines, family or private settlement, family, other, professional work placement, return visa, study, taking up of official duties, talent passport, visitor. . . If we choose BUSINESS / Recruitment or posting workers. Is correct?

[@expatinfrance]

It depends which visa the person will request: visa salarié if the employee will have a CDI or visa travailleur temporaire if the person has a CDD. Be aware that requesting a visa means that the person will come to France and not work remotely from the US. When you mention that the person is resident in the US, it is not clear what you plan to do...

[@christopherrivas9525]

Hi Giga, thanks for your video; I found it excellent and valuable. I moved to France recently with the Working-Holiday Visa, and some companies are offering me a job opportunity (full-time). I searched on different pages, and apparently, there is no limitation regarding the working hours. Can you help me to confirm this? Thanks in advance and my best wishes

[@expatinfrance]

Hi Christopher, Thank you for the feedback. Congrats on the job offer! It depends on which bilateral agreement you depend on, so on your nationality. As far as I remember that are no limitation, but it depends if it is for the same employer and on the bilateral agreement applicable. I'd need to know your nationality to confirm. Best to you.

[@christopherrivas9525]

@@expatinfrance , I'm Mexican; thanks again for the help. 😊

[@expatinfrance]

Hi Christopher, the bilateral agreement doesn't specify a number of hour, only "exercer, à titre accessoire, une activité rémunérée", this means that you couldn't work full time over a full year. However, it seems that every Prefecture have a different undertanding of this. For the Student visa, the law is much clearer and states a maximum of 964 hours/year. Some Prefecture will apply this number to the Work-holiday visa holders too, even though it is not specified in the law. I'm afraid I can't give you a more specific answer. Good luck to you!

I’m an American software engineering graduate and want to work and live in france with my family. Where should I start? Should I look for work before I go? Or should I go first and look for work in person? How difficult is it to find a company that can help me get a work visa?

[@expatinfrance]

Hi there, you can't transfer from a tourist visa to any other type of status so if you first come to France as a tourist to have job interviews, you will need to go back to the USA to request the applicable work visa to the French consulate in the USA. There is quite a high demand in the IT engineering sector, so you have your chances but this doesn't mean it is easy. It is still an international job search. Good luck to you!

[@expatinfrance]

Hello Yash, Congratulation on the job! First, your employer must request the work authorisation from the DIRECCTE (if you are not going for a Talent Passport status as explained in the video). Once you have it, you will go to the Prefecture to request a change of status to the new Work permit that matches your situation with all the required documents. All the best to you!

@@expatinfrance thank you for your reply. I have come back to India so how can I go to perfecture? My visa is still valid till August so do I have to travel back to France for this? Also how much is the minimum my employer should pay for smooth work permit process

[@expatinfrance]

@@yashagarwal746 Hi, if you are not in France at the time of expiry of your current permit (APS), you will need to request the appropriate work visa from the French consulate in India with the work authorisation provided by your new employer. Alternatively, you can try to request a return visa from the French consulate but it is usually not recommended to plan trips around the time of your permit renewal. Good luck!

Dear madom how much will be the whole expences for work visa for france in usd

[@expatinfrance]

Hello, it depends on the visa, where you are requesting it from and the exchange rate. Many visa are 99 euros + possible provider fees (VFS or TLS) around 30-40 euros. Then once in France the residence permit will be 250 euros + 25 when given an actual card. You will also need to count the price of certified translation that will vary depending on your country and the document you are translating. So you understand it is not so straight forward to give a cost estimate since there are many variables.

[@expatinfrance]

Hi Sahil, It depends. Depending on your salary you'll need to request a visa salarié, or salarié qualifié or EU blue card. If it's Salarié your employer will need to request the work authorisation from the DIRECCTE (now called DREATS). Also if you graduated from a Masters degree you can choose this route : expat-in-france.com/stay-in-france-after-studies/ Best to you
