And if the authorities approve your application, you can stay in France freely for 10 years. Then you will be able to apply for French citizenship, and you will have an excellent chance to get it.
  • Receiving the residence permit for yourself, you can automatically register it and for your family members – children and spouses.

To avoid any problems with the police, it is better to change rights to the French during the first year after registration of the residence permit. And then you will be able to drive a vehicle without fear of claims from law enforcement bodies.

However, there are a few disadvantages, which a French residence permit because of registration of the representative office has:

  • It’s easy to lose residence permit of France. If it determines that you provided false information or invalid/incorrect documents, there is a high probability that you will be deported. Even if the issue occurred in error, or it was not your fault. The state authorities of France are very strict.
  • At the expiration of residence permit, you will need to register it again. At the same time, in order for everything to be successful, your company must meet all the same conditions as when you first received a residence permit. Thus, if the firm's revenues will fall sharply, or it is simply eliminated, then the residence permit will be denied.
  • A person, possessing a residence permit, can acquire a property only as a legal entity. And these are additional formalities that must be observed.
  • If you have been granted a residence permit at a representative office of a company, then first you will need to work for a long time exactly at your enterprise. That is, you have to provide yourself with a workplace yourself and only in this way receive income, which, moreover, must correspond to a certain level, so that by the time of re-issuing a residence permit you are financially wealthy. However, you may well work out unofficially, at your own peril and risk.
  • A residence permit does not give the right to work in the state structures of France, so successful a career of civil servant with an impressive benefit will be totally inaccessible for you.
  • Yes, the language is not required, but employers are reluctant to hire those who do not speak French. Find a good place without dating here is very difficult, even with a residence permit. By itself, this language is quite complex and specific, so it will not be easy to learn it, even constantly being surrounded by native speakers.

Perhaps the main drawback of the procedure of obtaining a residence permit in France is the bureaucracy inherent in this country. You will be surprised, but local officials are much more picky than in other countries. In their desire to strictly abide by the law and to be as thorough as possible in any smallest formality, they reach insanity. At the same time, they sometimes work a bit erratically, more precisely, inconsistently.

A typical situation: you have collected the thick envelope with the set of all absolutely necessary properly executed certificates and copies, but you return a few times, demanding to add another document, e.g. a confirmation of your residence in France in the form of statement from the doctor. And then you need a French stamp on the notarized translation of the birth certificate or a comprehensive list of vaccinations that was given to your baby. Finally, when, it would seem that additional paperwork is simply impossible to claim, as you have exhausted all options, you can give an entirely different list of documents, finding out some new facts. For example, they learn that some of your distant relative is French or your great-grandfather at that time was under investigation, and nearly ended up in the GULAG. The migration service really checks all your relatives in a few generations, especially if you are in the country illegally, you are refused to extend the right to stay as a refugee due to the absence of a threat, or you simply do not want to extend your residence permit, and you refuse to leave France back. Believe me, they will find reasons to deport you.
