The Salarié residence permit is one of France’s most common work-based pathways, designed for non-EU nationals who’ve secured a permanent, full-time job with a French employer. It enables candidates to live and work in France under a CDI (Contrat à Durée Indéterminée), with access to social protections and long-term residence options.

For employers, it requires securing work authorization from the French labour authorities (DREETS) before the visa can be issued. Recruitroo manages the full process, from job contract compliance and work permit filing to candidate support at the consulate and onboarding in France.

• We prepare and submit the work permit application, manage communication with DREETS, and guide the candidate through visa and residence validation.
• Best suited for long-term hires across sectors like hospitality, construction, logistics, and general operations.

The Passeport Talent – EU Blue Card is France’s premium work visa for highly skilled professionals. It’s designed for non-EU nationals with a university degree (or equivalent experience) and a well-paying job offer in a recognised sector. It grants a multi-year residence permit and paves the way to permanent residency — making it a highly attractive option for both employer and candidate.

France requires a minimum annual salary (around €53,800) and a full-time employment contract of at least one year. Recruitroo manages this process end to end: validating role eligibility, preparing a compliant job contract, supporting the visa application, and scheduling the candidate’s OFII appointment post-arrival.

• We ensure your offer aligns with France’s Blue Card criteria and guide both the employer and candidate through a streamlined process.
• Ideal for tech, finance, engineering, medical, and academic roles seeking to attract senior-level talent into France.

The Talent Passport is an umbrella category for a wide range of high-potential individuals — from startup founders and researchers to performing artists and company directors. If your candidate doesn’t fit neatly into the EU Blue Card route but brings economic, academic, or cultural value to France, the Talent Passport may be the perfect solution.

Each sub-category (e.g., Qualified Employee, Innovative Project Holder, Researcher, Performer) has specific criteria. Recruitroo helps you assess eligibility, tailor the application to the relevant track, and manage complex paperwork — from recognition of foreign diplomas to business plans or letters of endorsement.

• We help match your candidate to the right Talent Passport track and deliver a full-service application, regardless of the subcategory.
• Best for innovation-based roles, entrepreneurs, researchers, creatives, and senior hires that don’t meet Blue Card requirements.

The Temporary Worker Permit supports short-term employment in France for candidates with a fixed-term contract (CDD). It’s typically used for seasonal work, short-term staffing projects, or fixed-duration assignments — especially in sectors like hospitality, agriculture, and field operations.

The process requires employer-side work permit authorization and a supporting fixed-term contract. Recruitroo handles permit preparation, DREETS submissions, and pre-arrival support for the candidate — including visa application and integration guidance once in France.

• We manage short-term permits with the same precision as long-term hires, ensuring smooth approvals even under tight timelines.
• Ideal for seasonal demand, project-based hiring, or contract roles under 12 months.

France allows spouses and children of residence permit holders to join them under the family reunification framework. The rules vary depending on the primary permit held (Salarié, Talent Passport, EU Blue Card), but most allow for dependent visas after a short residency period — or even concurrently for certain high-skilled routes.

Recruitroo coordinates the full family reunification process: verifying eligibility, preparing supporting documentation (housing proof, income levels), and submitting the family’s visa application. We also support post-arrival registration and access to benefits like healthcare and education.

• We make it easy for candidates to relocate with their families and ensure they settle with the right support structure.
• A key retention tool for employers hiring long-term talent and wanting to offer a stable, family-friendly relocation experience.

Residence permits in France are time-bound and must be renewed before expiration to remain compliant. Whether your employee is on a 1-year Salarié permit or a 4-year Talent Passport, renewing on time is critical to avoid legal gaps in employment and residency status.

Recruitroo tracks permit expiration dates, prepares renewal applications with updated documents (employment letters, payslips, residence proofs), and manages appointments at the local prefecture. We also support upgrades from temporary to multi-year status when applicable.

• We ensure renewals are processed well in advance, protecting your team from administrative delays or disruptions in status.
• Ideal for scaling companies managing multiple international employees or supporting long-term hires.
