What you need to know: Foreign entrepreneurs can obtain a residence permit under either of the following headings: “entrepreneur/profession libérale” or “talent - porteur de projet” The “talent - project holder” passport is not available to the liberal professions The “entrepreneur/profession libérale” card covers both commercial and liberal activities The choice of “liberal profession” or “commercial activity” is decisive in determining the documents to be provided to the authorities All commercial, industrial and craft activities require a viability certificate, which must be requested from ANEF The concepts of commercial or liberal profession are not defined by the law governing foreign nationals, but by other branches of law (commercial law, tax law, etc.) Particular vigilance is required, as errors in the definition of a liberal or commercial profession are a frequent cause of file rejection It is possible to file an administrative appeal, followed by a contentious appeal against the decision to deny the issuance of the residence permit labeled "entrepreneur/self-employed professional"
