Residence permit in France: how to get it?
The process of obtaining a permanent residence permit consists of several stages. It all depends on the category of persons planning to leave. There is a category of persons who can declare their intention to obtain the right to permanent residence in France immediately after entering the country. These are parents and children of citizens of this state who are financially dependent on them. Refugees who have an approved decision on granting temporary protection or asylum can also apply for the relevant status.
Another category is persons who have lived in France for at least 3 years. It includes spouses of citizens of this state, persons who arrived under the family reunification program, etc.
If you have a work, family or business visa, after 5 years you have the right to permanent residence. In any case, the lawyers of our law firm will help you to draw up all the necessary documents, regardless of the available grounds.
Among the main requirements for obtaining a residence permit:
- Having your own or rented housing.
- High level of knowledge of the French language.
- Compliance with the principles of the Republic of France.
- Staying in the territory of the republic legally for the required period.

Opening a business in France: what to consider?
Opening your own business in France is a great opportunity to develop your entrepreneurial activity. However, this process must be approached with all responsibility. In particular, you need to know all the intricacies of French legislation.
To begin with, we recommend developing a detailed business plan. It should consist of the following points:
- Formulation of a business idea and its detailed description.
The service or product that you plan to offer to potential customers should be clearly defined.
- Market analysis.
At this stage, competitors and potential demand are studied.
- Drawing up a financial plan.
At this stage, expenses, income and potential profits are estimated.
Special attention is paid to choosing the right legal form for your business. For example, for small businesses it can be Auto-Entrepreneur, and for large businesses – Société Anonyme (SA).
Company registration involves a number of important steps. First, you need to choose a company name. It must be unique and comply with current French legislation. Secondly, it is necessary to prepare the company’s charter. It is this document that defines the rules for the functioning of a private enterprise. Thirdly, registration with the commercial court.
French tax law also requires compliance with certain rules. These include value added tax, corporate tax and social security contributions for employees.
In addition, it is worth remembering the following: some types of activities require obtaining special permits and licenses. In particular, this applies to such areas as medicine, transport, and the food industry. Our lawyers will check the requirements for your specific field of activity.
General rules:
- To start a business, you need to open an account in any French bank. To do this, you will need the following documents: passport, statutory documents, confirmation of registration.
- The next step is to search for premises. We recommend paying attention to such factors as the location of the premises, the cost of its rental, and the responsibility for the requirements that are imposed on your field of activity.
