Human assets play a vital role in a region’s economic and
social development and are a key factor in its ability to attract
investment.
The Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur region has a veritable mine
of intellectual and technological resources at its disposal.
The region’s economy is highly active in a wide variety of
sectors and is home to many companies with foreign capital
and to internationally-renowned projects such as ITER.
Access to such a skills pool is a considerable advantage for a
business, whatever its size.
This initiative is part of the French measures aiming at making the country more attractive as a destination for skilled migrants (one-stop service applied to three key fields: information, project tax optimization and assistance for
inpatriates).This document has been drawn up with the active participation of:

The PACA Region encourages foreign investment and is

support for skilled staff brought in as part of your business

This is why, in collaboration with our main partners, we have
published this information brochure designed to help you
prepare your move to the PACA region.

WANT TO HIRE A NON-RESIDENT FOREIGN WORKER?
THINK AHEAD!

YOUR COMPANY IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED IN
THE PACA REGION AND YOU WANT TO HIRE

(other than a national of an EU country or of an EU country for which
a transitional period is in force until 01/01/2014, i.e. Bulgaria and Romania)
Which are the agencies to contact and procedures to follow and how long will it take...?
a 5-step procedure
time frame: 2 months
time frame: 3 to 5 months
Step 1 POLE EMPLOI
(Employment center)
Step 2 THE DIRECCTE
(Local foreign labor department)
The employer submits a job offer
to Pole Emploi, which checks the
position’s opposability. If no suitable candidate is found within 2
months, Pole Emploi issues a certificate confirming that no job seeker is available to fill the position.
The employer submits a work permit application to the DIRECCTE.
The request to bring in foreign
labor can now be made by the
employer to the DIRECCTE.
Tip 1: Opposability does not apply for some
positions, so step 1 becomes unnecessary.
Check the list of critical job sectors (and
updates) before starting any hiring process.
See appendix 1 or visit:
www.immigration-professionnelle.gouv.fr
Which are the agencies to contact
and procedures to follow and
how long will it take...?
Documents required for processing the
application:
• “Cerfa” form (downloadable from
www.immigration-professionnelle.gouv.fr/)
• Foreign worker’s employment contract.
• Form declaring the worker to the URSSAF
(social security) and all other social services.
If the application is successful, the DIRECCTE
notifies the OFII.
Tip 4: See the collective bargaining agreement for applicable
labor minimums.

Step 5 THE OFII
(Regional immigration department office)
in the country of residence
The OFII takes care of the consular
visa application, forwarding it to the
French Consulate in the foreign worker’s country of residence, with notification to the employer.
The French Consulate contacts
the employee to collect his or her
VLSTS (type D long-term stay visa).
The employee may start work upon
arrival in France.
• The OFII collects the tax due from the employer.
• The employee forwards a copy of his/her
visa and the form issued by the consulate.
He/she attends a medical examination
and, where applicable, signs a “Reception
and Integration Contract” (the OFII will arrange to see the employee within 3 months
of his/her arrival in France).
Tip 2: Be thorough and prepare your work
permit application during step 1 (a list of
required documents can be found in appendix 2)
Tip 3: Make sure to have legal documents
and employment contracts translated
by a sworn translator.
