Visa Requirements in France

EU nationals have an automatic right to work in France. Non-EU citizens will need to apply for a work permit, for which they first need a Carte de Séjour or a Working Holiday Visa, as well as a written promise of employment. Permits can be refused on the grounds of high local unemployment. You can find more information about visa requirements online via the French Embassy website
