For [ANNUAL_SALARY_EUR]: verify meets ~EUR 43,243 minimum.

§3 — APPLICATION PROCESS (90-110 words)
Two-stage:
Stage 1: French employer files DIRECCTE / DREETS notification
• Mention of position + salary + qualification
• Acknowledgement letter
Stage 2: [CLIENT_NAME] applies long-stay visa (VLS) at French consulate in India
• Application via France-Visas portal
• Submit at VFS Global France in India (New Delhi / Mumbai / Bengaluru / Chennai / Kolkata / Pondicherry)
• Documents: passport, photo, employment contract, qualification certificates, motivation letter, financial proof, health insurance, return ticket / accommodation evidence
• Visa fee: EUR 99 [VERIFY]
• Processing: 2-8 weeks
• Visa granted: VLS-TS valid 4 years (acts as residence permit)
§4 — POST-ARRIVAL (60-80 words)
After arrival in France:
• Validate visa within 3 months at OFII (Office Français de l'Immigration et de l'Intégration) — online via etrangers.interieur.gouv.fr
• OFII medical examination
• Pay OFII tax EUR 200
• Receive validated VLS-TS = full residence permit
• Annual renewal not needed during 4-year validity
• Renewal at year 4: prefecture appointment
§5 — FAMILY UNDER PASSEPORT TALENT (80-100 words)
Major advantage: family included AUTOMATICALLY with own Passeport Talent Famille:
• Spouse: Passeport Talent Famille, full work rights (any sector, any employer)
• Minor children: Passeport Talent Famille
• Family applies for VLS at same time OR within validity of principal permit
• EU mobility for family: similar to principal — Schengen freedom of movement, conditional cross-EU work rights
This is materially stronger than many other Schengen work permits where spouse work rights are restricted.

After Passeport Talent residence:
• EU long-term residence (CESEDA L426-17) after 5 years legal France residence
• French citizenship after 5 years + integration (TCF B1+ French language)
• EU Blue Card mobility: France Passeport Talent does NOT automatically convert to EU Blue Card — separate application if cross-EU mobility desired
