The multi-year resident permit is a major asset for foreign people wishing to settle permanently in France. More flexible than an annual residence permit, it simplifies the lives of its holders by offering greater stability and reducing repetitive administrative procedures.

What is the multi-year resident permit ?

The multi-year residence card is a residence permit issued for a period of two to four years. In most cases, it follows a first year of regular residence in France with a temporary residence permit. This card is intended for a variety of audiences, such as students, workers, spouses of French citizens or beneficiaries of international protection.

Who can apply for this resident permit?

• The multi-year resident permit is for several categories of persons, including:
• Students at the end of their first year of study in France
• Employees with fixed or indefinite contracts
• Spouses of French nationals, after one year of marriage and regular residence
• Beneficiaries of subsidiary protection or refugee status
• What are the conditions for obtaining a certificate?

To obtain a multi-year resident permit, several criteria must be met:

✅ Regular stay: The applicant must already be in a legal situation in France with a temporary residence permit

✅ Respect for French laws: No criminal convictions
