Are you looking to start a business in France and settle there permanently to develop your activity? The Talent Passport – Business Creation is a residence permit designed for foreign entrepreneurs with a serious and viable project. This attractive scheme allows you to set up in France while benefiting from a legal framework that is favorable to investment.
Why choose the Talent Passport to start a business?
Introduced by the law of March 7, 2016, the Talent Passport aims to facilitate the entry and residence of foreign talent likely to contribute to France's economic and cultural influence.
