France for investors

 

France is one of the most popular destinations in the world for investment, education and family migration.

France is also one of the leading countries in Europe in terms of business creation, with more than 28,000 companies with foreign capital in the country.

In order to attract entrepreneurs and investors from abroad, the French government has introduced a new category of Talent Passport “Business investor”.

The residence permit “Passport Talent”, which is also called the “Residence of France by investment” is provided for businessmen and investors from countries outside the EU who wish to invest in the French economy.

The Talent Passport in France is one of the most attractive investor programs in Europe, on a par with Golden Visas in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus.

✓ Residence permit is issued immediately for 4 years
✓ The right to live, work, study in France
✓ The path to obtaining permanent residence or French citizenship in 5 years
✓ Access to a high quality public education and healthcare system

 

Passport Talent for investors in France

 

The Talent Passport program for investors requires a financial investment of at least 300,000 euros and allows the investor and his family members to receive resident cards (French residence permit) for a period of 4 years at once. The program can also lead to permanent residence (French permanent residence) or citizenship after 5 years and subject to certain conditions.

⇒ Investment requirements

1. Minimum investment of €300,000 in fixed tangible or intangible assets.
2. Ownership of at least 10% of the company in which the investment is made.
3. The investor must create or provide a job protection obligation within 4 years from the date of investment. French laws do not provide for a minimum of employees, it all depends on the type of business activity.
4. An investment can be made either directly or through a company if the investor owns at least 30% of the shares of that company.
5. The investor must provide proof of the source of funds used for the investment.

⇒ Type of residence permit and renewal

A residence permit under “Passport Talent” is issued immediately for 4 years with the right to extend. Applicants must provide documents confirming that they continue to comply with the conditions for issuing the permit and retaining the investment.

⇒ Investor’s family members

The applicant’s family members are also issued a long-term residence permit – “Passport-talent (family)” for 4 years with the right to extend.
Family members include a second spouse and children under 18 years of age.

The second of the spouses is granted the right to free employment in France, and the children have the right to receive public education in France.

⇒ Permanent residence and citizenship of France

Although the name of the program contains the word “Passport”, this does not mean that the investor immediately receives French citizenship and a passport. A residence permit in this category is issued immediately for 4 years with the right to renew.

The investor will be able to easily renew the resident card if he confirms that the investment and job creation requirements have been met and the company’s activities are supported.

After 5 years of residence under the Passport Talent program, the investor and his family are entitled to receive a permanent residence permit.

After obtaining permanent residence in France, you can return the investment and obtain French citizenship and a passport through naturalization. In fact, this is a way to obtain French citizenship by investment.

To obtain French citizenship, it is necessary to prove good assimilation into the French community, sufficient knowledge of French culture and history, as well as knowledge of the French language.

France allows dual citizenship, so you don’t have to give up your first citizenship.
