France

France offers the Talent Passport for highly skilled professionals, entrepreneurs and investors. Path to EU citizenship in 5 years.

France is one of the world's leading powers with the sixth-largest economy and a passport ranking in the global top 10. The country actively attracts international talent through the Passeport Talent program and is one of the best destinations for study and career in Europe.

The Passeport Talent is a multi-purpose work and residence permit valid for up to 4 years without annual renewal. The program covers several categories: specialists with a master's-level degree and an employment contract, entrepreneurs, investors (from €300,000), world-class artists and scientists. All categories grant the right to family reunification.

The French Tech Visa is a special visa for startup founders and employees of French technology companies. With a French mentor or registration in a recognized incubator (Station F, TheFamily, etc.), the visa is processed in 2–3 months. The French startup ecosystem is the largest in Europe by venture capital volume.

After 5 years of legal residence, permanent residency can be applied for, followed by citizenship. French citizenship requires confirming B1 language level and integration into French society. The French passport grants access to 189+ countries visa-free and the right to reside in any EU country.
