Wondering how to live and work in France? Certain nationalities require a French work visa to be able to legally live and work in France. There are many French work permits, depending on your employment situation in France. The French work permit has ties to your residence status in France. In most cases, you need a job before you apply for a work visa for France. Al Rawi Travel is an A-Z guide to help you settle in France and live your happy life!
Finding work in France can be a challenge if you are not prepared, but our guide ensures you have all the necessary information on how to get a job here. For example, when you apply for a job, it is a good idea to send a translation of your CV in French. This might help you get a job that pays above the average salary in France, which is 3,000 EUR (3,550 USD) gross (or 2,250 EUR (2,700 USD) net) for a full-time, private sector employee. Once employed, you can look forward to France’s social security benefits, which are among the highest in the EU.
Did you know that most people rent, rather than buy, their accommodation in France? This is great for expats as there are lots of rental choices, including different types of houses in rural areas and apartments if you are living in a city. For instance, if you decided not to move your household goods with you, it is possible to find furnished houses and apartments for rent in France. Furnished apartments tend to be rather old, however, and unfurnished places provide greater legal protection and a longer minimum lease—typically three years.
Al Rawi travel provides it all, with payment after visa. Quick and easy process!
