Passeport talent projet innovant France
Creating a start-up
This visa includes two categories.
Passeport talent projet innovant reconnu par organisme publique — is a visa for people and teams who want to launch their new innovative project in France. The project’s business plan must be approved by a French government agency or a Start-Up Incubator. There are no investment requirements to obtain this visa. A business plan and planned sources of funding must be shown.
Passeport talent création d’entreprise — is a visa for people and teams who want to launch their new project in France and are willing to invest from € 30,000 to do so.
Who Can Apply?
•Founder and the key project team
Main requirements for the "Projet innovant reconnu par organisme publique" visa:
The difficulty here: you need approval of the start-up project from one of the French business incubators. You must have: • MVP of the project, not just the idea of it • Presentation of the project, CVs of the founders and key team members. You need to clearly present a project that you are going to establish in France. These documents are sent to incubators for a project approval for a share (10−15%). Incubators can be the first investors in the project
Important: if the formal requirements for the founders are met and the project is approved, the visa is granted with almost 100% probability.
However, you will be obliged to report to the supporting Incubator of the progress of the project as they will have a stake. In order to extend the residence permit in the future, you will need confirmation from the Incubator that the project is progressing.
Main requirements for a "création d’entreprise" visa
With this type of project, you will need to invest at least € 30,000. Approval for the project must come not from an incubator but from the French Ministry of Economy.
A project has to be set up first, invested and only then applied for a visa.
The only difference in the visas is their project-based conditions. Otherwise, they are identical.
