L421-22 — Talent - Accompanying Family

The Passeport Talent – Famille Accompagnante is a French multi-year residence permit for the spouse and dependent children under 18 of a Passeport Talent holder. It bypasses standard family reunification, aligning the family's residency rights directly with the principal applicant's permit for up to 4 years.

The spouse receives unrestricted work authorisation — no separate work permit required. Stay mirrors the principal's permit and is renewable. Children under 18 are exempt from a residence card until adulthood. The long-stay visa costs €99; the residence permit costs €225 (€200 tax + €25 stamp duty).

This visa is ideal for spouses and minor children of Passeport Talent holders who want to live and work in France without delays or separate family reunification procedures.
