🇫🇷 France · Digital Nomad Visa
Remote-work visa programs, income requirements, duration, taxes, and application steps.
France does not have a dedicated digital nomad visa. Remote workers and self-employed professionals typically use a long-stay visa — either the "visitor" long-stay visa (showing sufficient means and a commitment not to work for a French employer) or the Passeport Talent for qualifying entrepreneurs/professionals. France-Visas and Service-Public set out the options.
- There is no dedicated French digital nomad visa.
- A long-stay "visitor" visa is common for remote workers — show sufficient means and no work for a French employer.
- Qualifying entrepreneurs/professionals may use the Passeport Talent instead.
- Apply through France-Visas; check Service-Public for current conditions.
