France Revises Immigration Rules to Extend Job Search Period for Foreign Workers
France implemented immigration reforms on October 30, 2026, extending the job search period for foreign workers who lose employment. Temporary Worker permit holders now have three months to find new jobs without losing residence status, while EU Blue Card holders have six months and do not require new work authorizations for new employment. The reforms also reduce residence permit processing times and facilitate mobility for certain workers, aligning with updated EU directives.
