Working in France

Many students wanting to study in France are sometimes doubtful about finding jobs in France. This is due to a false notion that the French recruit only their nationals. Job vacancies in France in different areas sum upto over 3 lakhs and those who can speak or understand French stand a better chance to get a job. So even though knowing French for an admit and Visa is not mandatory, you can learn French while studying to make your work environment easier. Apart from making a 5 figure salary, you can work part time in France while studying. Students also get upto two years stay back option to live and work in France. After three years of work in France, students can apply for PR in France.

Although people directly apply to work in France, it can be time consuming with a rare chance of getting a work visa in France. For a student to get into the industry, one of the easiest route is to take up a study program, stay and study in France on a student visa. Students can also apply for a Job Seeker Visa in France which is valid upto two years.
