Key points when applying for a work permit: who is affected?
Employers are no longer the only parties concerned by the conditions for issuing work permits. Clients, user companies and host companies are also affected.
In the case of an apprentice whose employer is based outside France and who is taken on by a company based in France to complete his training, it is up to the host company to apply for a work permit.
Key points concerning a work permit refusal: What are the grounds?
A work permit may be refused if the applicant has committed serious breaches of criminal law or of health and safety with regard to his employees.
It may also be refused if the recruitment project is manifestly disproportionate to the applicant's economic activity.
