Second Pass

Retirement in France

The Verdict: Not eligible

The retirement route does not allow any work in France. If you want to work, even part time, look at our skilled migration or golden visa quizzes.

France's visitor card requires a written undertaking not to carry on any professional activity in France, and it is refused or withdrawn if you do.

Skilled migration covers employment. Golden visa covers the cards for founders, investors, freelancers and the self-employed.
