Seasonal Work in France for Non-EU Citizens: Conditions, Procedures, and Rights
Conditions
Non-EU citizens can apply for a seasonal worker permit to undertake temporary work in France, typically in sectors like agriculture, under these conditions:
- A seasonal work contract must be for over three months.
- Seasonal work is capped at six months within any 12-month period.
- Multiple seasonal contracts are allowed, as long as work doesn’t exceed six months annually and habitual residence remains outside France.
- The permit is valid for three years and can be renewed.
- A long-stay visa is also necessary, except when other agreements apply (e.g., under the Franco-Algerian Agreement of 1968 for Algerian citizens).
Procedures
Applying for a Work Permit
- The employer submits the application to the relevant foreign labor authority.
- The request can be denied if qualified workers are available locally.
- Labor agreements with Morocco and Tunisia streamline recruitment through the OFII if no qualified workers are available in France.
Visa and Residence Permit
- For permits of less than three months, a visa may be required, subject to nationality exemptions.
- Permits for three months or more require a long-stay visa from a French Embassy or Consulate in the applicant’s country.
- After arrival, applicants must apply for a temporary residence permit at their local préfecture. This costs 19 EUR.
Validity of Permits
- The seasonal work residence permit is valid for three years, allowing seasonal work up to six months per year.
- A new work permit is needed for each contract.
Rights
Family Reunification
- The permit does not entitle the holder to bring family members to France.
EU Long-Term Resident Permit
- Seasonal workers are not eligible for this permit.
These guidelines clarify the process for non-EU citizens wishing to engage in seasonal work in France.
