| kin3 Junior Member Member # 2223 | Posted February 25, 2002 04:20 PM I'm currently holding a Carte de Sejour Temporaire on my Passport and its renewed every year... How long does it take for me to get a full Carte de Sejour and how is it possible to get a work permit/passport to work anywhere in Europe freely?... |
| Elfa Member Member # 5 | Posted February 26, 2002 03:15 PM Hi I think you can apply for a full "Carte de Sejour" after five years of residence in France. You may wish to check with the French Embassy in your country of citizenship or where you applied for your original carte de sejour to find out when you might be eligible to apply for permanent residency, and then later for a French passport (if you qualify). Once you hold a French passport you will be able to work freely in all EU countries. Hope this helps! Elfa -------------------- Elfa Kere, Consultant |

Does this mean I've just turned from a 5th class citizen to a 4th class? How long do I have to stay here till I get a permanent residency then French passport eventually... Are the durations of stay for permanent residency eligibility dependant on which "departments" in france you work in? |
| Elfa Member Member # 5 | Posted March 13, 2002 10:11 AM Hi I am not an expert on the difference between a Carte de Sejour temporaire and Titre de Sejour, but I don't think this makes you a "4th class citizen" and as long as you have evidence that you have been legally living and working in France for three years, you should be eligible to apply for permanent residency after (I believe) five years of residency. The "departement" in which you live should have no bearing on your residency status. Hope this helps! Elfa -------------------- Elfa Kere, Consultant |
