Work Visa from Indonesia to France
- The French work visa is available for Indonesians who have gained employment in France.
- An original Indonesian passport that was issued in the last ten years beyond the duration of stay in France is required.
- Your employer is required to apply for a work visa on your behalf, at the local Ministry of Labour.
- You might be required to show evidence of your travel plans including pre-booked return flights.
- A proof of payment for your application is required.
- If you’re working in France for less than 90 days:
- Your employer is required to get you a temporary work permit approved by the French Ministry of Labour, the DIRECCTE (Direction regionale des entreprises, de la concurrence et de la consummation, du travail et de l’emploi), or a convention d’accueil stamped by the local prefecture (French local authority/administrative office).
- If you’re planning on working in France for more than 90 days/3 months:
- you must apply for a long-stay work visa in France, which also acts as your residence permit.
- Your employer has to draw up a work contract and send it to the local division of the French Ministry of Labour, the DIRECCTE (Direction regionale des entreprises, de la concurrence et de la consummation, du travail et de l’emploi). If any family members will be coming with you, then the employer will need to start the ‘accompanying family member’ procedure at the same time.
- Employees who have family members coming with them can have their employer start the “accompanying family member” procedure at the same time as the worker’s application.
