France is the most touristic country in the world and is admired for its culture and lifestyle. Residents have access to free healthcare and education. In 2016, France added new options to its Passport Talent immigration category which includes investor and innovator paths. Until now, business people had only the entrepreneur option to apply to. Those approved can obtain a 4-year temporary residence permit. Permanent residence in France is possible after 8 years, but most apply directly for naturalization into French citizenship as it’s possible after 5 years of residence. The set of requirements are different. The French passport is one of the best in the world and provides visa-free travel to the U.S. and freedom of movement into the European Union.
