FRENCH LAW: A FEW SUMMER DEVELOPMENTS AND PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
Pursuant to the Decree no. 2009-477 dated April 27, 2009, as of June 1, 2009, certain categories of foreign non-EU nationals, wishing to remain in France for more than 3 months, are exempt from the obligation to apply for a carte de séjour (a type of residency permit) upon their arrival in France.
This exemption is generally valid for the duration of the validity of the long stay visa and is generally limited to one year.
The categories of persons concerned are:
- visitors (staying up to 12 months),
- salariés (employees with an employment contract of up to 12 months),
- temporary workers with an authorization to work or an employment contract (for less than 12 months),
- students (studying up to 12 months), and
- spouses of French nationals.
Certain conditions must be met to benefit from this exemption:
- these persons are holders of valid long stay visas , and
- within 3 months of their arrival in France, they contact the OFII .
