Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum capital for a French SAS?
Who qualifies for the Talent Passport visa?
While the legal minimum is just €1, we strongly recommend at least €1,000 to €5,000 to project commercial credibility to French banks and administrative authorities during registration.
This multi-year visa is reserved for founders, investors, executives, and highly skilled employees. It bypasses the standard French labor market search, streamlining your entry.
How long does turnkey incorporation take?
Do I need to speak French to obtain residency?
The entire process typically spans 2 to 4 weeks. This includes drafting the bylaws, opening the capital deposit bank account, and obtaining the final K-bis certificate.
Many business-related visas, including the Talent Passport, do not carry strict language requirements initially. However, long-term residency renewals may require basic proficiency.
