France is one of the most attractive countries in Europe in terms of professional immigration.

In 2020, it attracted more than 26,000 foreigners wishing to come and settle in France in order to carry out a professional activity, whether salaried or self-employed.

Professional immigration is a generic term, which groups together two categories of workers.

On the one hand, qualified workers who have a certain level of education and can claim a relatively high salary in France or who wish to make significant investments in an entrepreneurial project.

On the other hand, “unskilled” workers, who are foreign nationals who do not have any particular qualifications, but who benefit from an employment opportunity in France. 

In all cases, access to employment is strictly regulated by French law.

The right to work for foreign nationals is, in fact, conditional on the prior recognition of a right of residence in the territory.
