4 To reside or work legally in France, there is a requirement for the resident's permit known as the carte de séjour. French residency is not difficult to obtain provided you have the correct paperwork, but it may take several months to process. Non EU citizens Unless you are a citizen of the European Union, you will need to contact the French Embassy/Consulate of your current country of domicile BEFORE you arrive to ensure you are arriving in France on the correct visa. Without the correct Visa applying for residency can become an even more complicated matter. Procedures may vary for different nationalities and activities, therefore it is important to clearly explain to your French embassy your intended plans. EU Member: If you hold a passport for one of the member states of the European Union, you are permitted to reside in France on your passport. Since November 2003 EU members no longer require a carte de séjour. Practically France is still in transition with this new situation and you may find that you require one for certain administrative procedures relating to employment and registrations while other administrative bodies adjust their procedures. The residency permit may vary in it s validity and this will depend on the nature of your work contract or personal situation
