Gr\u00e9gory DAMY, a lawyer in Nice, provides an overview of the possibilities for regularisation under foreign nationals’ law.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Regularisation of residence through work :<\/strong><\/p>\n Are you a foreign national who has just signed an employment contract (permanent or fixed-term contract)?<\/p>\n Then you are entitled to a residence permit for France.<\/p>\n If you work, you can apply to the prefecture where you live or work to regularise your situation as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n If the contract is open-ended, you will be issued with an employee residence permit.<\/p>\n The duration of the permit will be one year, renewable.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if you have a fixed-term contract, you will be issued with a temporary residence permit until your contract expires.<\/p>\n There are a number of sine qua non conditions:<\/p>\n – You must have an employment contract or a promise of employment<\/p>\n – You must have lived in France for at least 5 years and have worked for 8 months in the two years preceding your application<\/p>\n – Have some command of the French language<\/p>\n Once these conditions have been met, you will need to follow a procedure.<\/p>\n This starts with filling in a cerfa form at the prefecture, enclosing various documents such as proof of identity, proof of residence or proof of employment.<\/p>\n The authorities have 2 months to respond (art R.421-1 CJA).<\/p>\n It can either accept or refuse.<\/p>\n If you are explicitly notified of a refusal, the prefecture may accompany its refusal with an obligation to leave French territory.<\/p>\n This refusal may be appealed to the interim relief judge of the Administrative Court, who will give a ruling within 48 hours.<\/p>\n Once this 2-month period has elapsed, the legislator considers that the Administration’s failure to respond is tantamount to an implicit decision to reject the application.<\/p>\n You will have two months in which to contest this decision before the Administrative Court of your jurisdiction (art R.421-2 CJA).<\/p>\n However, if you are not notified of the appeal procedures and deadlines, the “Czabaj” case law grants you a reasonable appeal period of one year (cf. CE, 13 July 2016, no. 387763).<\/p>\n This was reiterated very recently by the High Administrative Court in a decision of March 2024, in which the Conseil d’Etat specified that the reasonable one-year period ran from the date on which the applicant became aware of the rejection decision (cf. CE, 11 March 2024, no. 488227).<\/p>\n If you encounter any difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact our law firm, which will be able to assist you throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lawyers in Nice – Immigration lawRegularisation through work is possible.
