Frequently asked questions
What is the Passeport Talent “Création d’entreprise”?
It is the “Talent” residence permit category for entrepreneurs opening a company or branch in France with an investment of at least €30,000. The status gives the right to live in the country legally and run a business, plus residence permits for the family without the reunification procedure.
How do I obtain a Passeport Talent in France?
First the business plan and financial model are prepared, the project is approved by the Ministry of the Economy, the company is registered and the capital is paid in. Then the D visa is issued and, after arrival, the “Talent” residence permit. You can go through the whole process with our support, without having to work out French procedures on your own.
What documents are needed for a Passeport Talent visa?
The basic set includes the business plan, the company’s articles and registration, proof of investment and funds, a degree or evidence of at least 5 years’ experience, a passport and the application form. The exact list is tailored to your situation.
What income must be shown for the Passeport Talent “Création d’entreprise”?
For this category, the key factors are an investment of at least €30,000 and a viable financial model. You must also show income of at least the annual French minimum wage (SMIC); we calculate the exact amount during the consultation, as the thresholds change periodically.
Can I open a branch of an existing business under the Passeport Talent?
Yes. The status applies not only to a new company but also to registering a branch of an existing business in France, provided the education or experience requirements and the €30,000 investment threshold are met.
