1 Residence permit application Foreign researchers who plan to stay in France for longer than three months must apply for a residence permit. Those who are nationals of either the 15 older European Union countries, the 8 newer member countries that joined the EU on May 1, 2004 or the European Economic Area, Monaco, Andorra and Switzerland are not required to do so. Important: Nationals of Romania and Bulgaria (newest EU countries) are still required to apply for a residence permit. The residence permit application must be made at the prefecture within two months of arrival. However, we strongly recommend that you start the procedure as soon as you arrive. You may be asked to present proof that you have applied for a residence permit in order to successfully complete the numerous other formalities that you will be faced with when settling in France. If you live in Paris: Your request for a residence permit will be filed by the representative (correspondant chercheur étranger) from your host institution (the person at the host institution in charge of relations with the Paris prefecture). You must give the representative all the papers required for the residence permit application and complete the forms that the representative will give you. If you live in the Ile-de-France region but outside of Paris: You must go in person to your local prefecture (see list below) with all the documents required, and complete the forms at the prefecture: Documents required for a first residence permit application: Passport (photocopy of the pages bearing your personal details, the entry stamps and Scientist visa, the expiration date and the original passport if you go to the prefecture in person) 3 passport photographs (recent, full face, head uncovered, of good quality, in black and white or colour, 3,5 cm x 4,5 cm) If you are single: your birth certificate translated into French by an approved translator If you are married: a French translation by an approved translator of the livret de famille (an official family record book) or of the marriage certificate.
