Hiring a foreign national can be a real asset for your company. However, with various residence statuses, administrative deadlines, work permits, and associated taxation, practical questions abound.
For example:
- Is the candidate’s residence permit compatible with the permanent contract (CDI) we are offering?
- We have a foreign apprentice finishing their Master’s degree: what steps should we take to hire them afterward?
- An employee has requested the renewal of their residence permit. Can they continue working in the meantime?
