Visa “Passeport Talent” for Innovative Projects
The "Passeport Talent" visa for innovative projects allows for residency in France and simplifies the process of obtaining citizenship.
Many choose the “Talent – investment of 30,000 euros” program, but it requires a diploma, proof of work experience, an investment of 30,000 euros, sufficient funds for living in France, and a criminal record certificate.
Today, almost any activity can be recognized as an innovative project and receive the status of “Talent – innovative project”. Innovations have long ceased to be limited to IT technologies.
Among the projects are: hotel business, restaurant business, confectionery production, concierge services, and other areas that may not initially seem related to innovations.
For this, no investment of 30,000 euros, diploma, or work experience is needed. The main thing is to correctly develop an innovative project.
As a result, the applicant can obtain a residence permit for up to 4 years and benefit from a simplified procedure for obtaining French citizenship after 2 years.
