• European students:

If you are a native of a European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), or Switzerland member country, you can remain in France for as long as you wish in order to find a job after your education. A temporary residency permit is not required.

• Non-European students:

If you are from a non-European country, you can remain in France after your studies as long as you have a promise of employment or an employment contract with a salary equivalent to one and a half times the legal minimum wage. Otherwise, you can apply for a residency permit for “job search/creation of a company”, valid for 12 months. For this purpose, you must have a professional degree, a master's degree or have a business start-up project.
