Residence permit in France. Option No. 2

Option 2 - Obtaining a non-resident merchant card

You can get a non-resident merchant card if you have opened your own business in France. To obtain the status of a non-resident merchant, you will need to write an application to the French consulate. This type of residence permit is issued for a period of 1 year and can be extended. To do this, you will need to provide a number of documents. First of all, these are positive balance sheets about the company’s activities.

After a year, your family (wife and minor children) will have the opportunity to apply for family reunification and will also be able to obtain a residence permit in France. After three years, you will have the opportunity to request permanent residence status (permanent residence) in France, which is issued for a period of 10 years.
