A status, different rules
Staff member, consultant, individual contractor or intern: the status determines the documents to provide, the type of permit or card, and the rights of spouse and children. The organisation may also provide specific certificates.
Typical steps
- evidencing your status to the French authorities;
- arranging residence for your spouse and children;
- anticipating renewals and changes of post;
- preparing for a relative’s visit (visa).
A typical situation
A consultant hired in Geneva settles in Annecy with a spouse. The questions to examine are: which status, which documents, which steps for the spouse, which timelines. Each situation is reviewed individually; no outcome can be guaranteed.
What the firm does not cover
The firm advises on French law only. It does not advise on Swiss immigration or on your contract with the organisation.
Frequently asked questions
Can my spouse work in France?
It depends on the permit or card they hold. The firm checks their situation.
Does the firm see clients in English?
Yes, in French and English, at the office or by videoconference.
