Under new French regulations, trainee visas will be issued for a period of one year instead of three months as before.
These regulations would apply to both STUDENTS and Professional trainees sent by companies. The visas could be renewed in France if there was need to.
The new regulations allowed an “Employee on Assignment” permit under which employees seconded to a group company in France could obtain a visa for three years, with family members given a “Private and Family Life” permit after six months
