New Work Permit Application Platform Made Available

Overview

With hopes to make the work permit application process more efficient, France has moved their procedure to a new online platform.

Key Points

• The change took effect April 6, 2021,  introducing foreign nationals and employers to this website.
• The platform, with seven regional subsections, were introduced and are intended to handle different regional areas within France. These regions include the North and West regions, Avignon (seasonal work,) Bobigny, Nanterre, Clermond-Ferrand, and the Cayenne region.
• The newly introduced platform will allow the application process to be streamlined from the SMOE (France's foreign workforce service) directly to the employer and employee.
