RESIDENCE PERMIT "RECHERCHE D'EMPLOI / CREATION D'ENTREPRISE"
If you are an international student who has graduated from a French institution and you have completed your studies with a "étudiant" residence permit or you have stayed in France with a "Passeport Talent - Chercheur" residence permit and you have completed your research work, you can apply under certain conditions, for a "recherche d'emploi / création d'entreprise" (RECE) residence permit.
The RECE residence permit allows foreign students and researchers to stay in France at the end of their studies or research to look for a first job or to create a company.
It is valid for 12 months and is not renewable.
During its validity, the RECE residence permit authorizes its holder to work.
PLEASE NOTE :
The RECE residence permit does not apply to:
- European students (nationals of a European Union country, the European Economic Area or Switzerland) who do not need a residence permit to work in France;
- Algerian students, who are subject to a specific procedure;
- Students from countries that have signed migration agreements with France. The latter can apply for a Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour (APS).
