Visa Details
France offers the French Tech Visa (Passeport Talent) for startup founders, employees of innovative companies, and investors. The startup founder track requires endorsement by a designated French Tech partner (incubator, accelerator, or public entity) and provides a 4-year residence permit. The employee track targets skilled workers joining an innovative French company, with a minimum salary threshold. France does not currently offer a digital nomad visa or a golden visa programme. EU/EEA nationals can live and work in France without a visa. Non-EU founders can also apply for the standard Passeport Talent categories based on economic contribution, investment (€300,000 minimum), or company creation.
