The French government has recently enacted legislation
to encourage the immigration to France of well-qualified,
highly trained foreign professionals.
Join us for a 2-hour, information-packed seminar that will
explore these changes and give you the information you need

situations in France, including self-employment, and the
new options open to those who are innovators in their field.
We will discuss issues such as:
* The special provisions/restrictions affecting certain
professions

ability to work in France
* The ancillary rights and obligations associated with each
type of work/stay authorization
* The rights and obligations of accompanying family members
