Talent passport
Passeport Talent
A family of multi-year residence permits covering qualified employees, founders, investors, researchers and artists. Each category has its own test, and the permit covers family from the outset.
Who it is for. Qualified employees on higher salaries, founders with a recognised innovative project, and researchers.
Worth knowing. Salary tests are expressed as multiples of a reference wage that is revised annually and differs between talent categories, so the stored figure is indicative. Check the category you are applying under on France-Visas.
