It can be challenging to arrange all the necessary permits and it is best to always check the requirements as things can change frequently. Up-to-date information on entry requirements regarding your nationality and/or residence is available on the official website of the French Foreign Ministry.

An Employer of Record (EOR) provides a valuable service to businesses, by hiring and managing international employment on their behalf. While the company retains supervisory and management control of their employee on a day-to-day basis, a France EOR becomes the registered employer of the employee. They will provide a registered entity for running a compliant local payroll in France, arrange all visas and work permits and be able to advise companies on laws regarding local contracts, worker protections, notice periods, termination rules and severance pay. They will also act as the host country interface between employees and local government authorities.
