  • The whole application and supporting documents must be lodged at the regional DDTEFP* office.
     

  • The DDTEFP* office approves the application, and returns it to the employer
     

  • The approved application is taken to the French consulate in the Candidate's country of residence.
     

  • The French consulate issues the long stay visa.
     

  • The candidate travels to France and is invited by the OMI to take a medical to be granted a residence permit from the police headquarters.
