Changing Status from Student to Employee – Explained in 2 Minutes

Description

What is the change from student to employee status?

Do you want to hire a foreign student in France?

This student has previously received authorization to study in France, but not authorization to work.

There are therefore mandatory formalities in immigration to be completed in order to obtain permission to work for your company.

This is called a change of student status to employee.

Why is it important?

Like all topics related to immigration, it is a sensitive subject and our first recommendation for companies is: to do things properly!

In recent years, companies have recognised the value that these foreign students bring to them by giving them an important place in their talent recruitment policy.

They therefore want to secure the recruitment of these talents and reduce the chances of refusal by the authorities, and that’s why they are calling on us, who handle thousands of similar cases.

What are the risks?

The most significant risk our clients seek to avoid is the refusal of the change of status by the administration.

Validation is indeed not guaranteed, because in most cases, it is necessary to pass the crucial step of the enforceability of the labour market.

For this, it is necessary to convince the authorities that there is no qualified French, European, or foreign resident candidate in the territory to fill this position.

Timing is also crucial to be able to switch from one status to another: you need to know and respect the right moments to do things.

Our recommendation

1. Firstly, properly manage the key stage of enforceability of the labor market to avoid rejection.
2. Secondly, know and respect the right times to carry out the procedures;
3. Finally, thirdly, choose a trusted partner, an expert in status change, providing simple, quick, efficient, and compliant support.
