Work Permits in France

Working in France for EU citizens should be straightforward but hey surprise, surprise not all EU citizens are treated the same. Other foreign nationals must hold both a valid work permit and residence permit.

Here is an extract from an article on Expatica ......

Foreign nationals entitled to work in France without obtaining a permit fall into the following three categories:

- Citizens from the 27 European Union member states
- Nationals from member states of the European Economic Area (EEA)
- Citizens of Switzerland

In addition, foreign government employees, international civil servants on a diplomatic mission, international organisation employees, traders, scientists, artists and sailors working on s ship stationed at a port in France do not need a separate work permit.
