This visa includes two categories.

Passeport talent projet innovant reconnu par organisme publique — is a visa for people and teams who want to launch their new innovative project in France. The project's business plan must be approved by a French government agency or a Start-Up Incubator. There are no investment requirements to obtain this visa. A business plan and planned sources of funding must be shown.

Who can apply?

Founder and the key project team
Learn your chances

Main requirements for the "Projet innovant reconnu par organisme publique" visa:

The difficulty here: you need approval of the start-up project from one of the French business incubators. You must have:
MVP of the project, not just the idea of it
Presentation of the project, CVs of the founders and key team members. You need to clearly present a project that you are going to establish in France. These documents are sent to incubators for a project approval for a share (10-15%). Incubators can be the first investors in the project
Important: if the formal requirements for the founders are met and the project is approved, the visa is granted with almost 100% probability.

However, you will be obliged to report to the supporting Incubator of the progress of the project as they will have a stake. In order to extend the residence permit in the future, you will need confirmation from the Incubator that the project is progressing.

Main requirements for a "création d'entreprise" visa

With this type of project, you will need to invest at least €30,000. Approval for the project must come not from an incubator but from the French Ministry of Economy.

A project has to be set up first, invested and only then applied for a visa.

The only difference in the visas is their project-based conditions. Otherwise, they are identical.

This Visa opens the following opportunities:
Sending children to free state schools
Get public health insurance
Apply for citizenship after 5 years of residence in France. It is sufficient to show and prove that you have spent most of your time in the country, you must also submit tax returns and pass a language test— level B1 at least
Attend free language schools for immigrants
Change your Russian driving licence to a French one free of charge and without having to go to a driving school
Free to travel within the EU, but important not to stay in other countries for more than 90 days in 180 days

Proof of sufficient funds for the first year of living in France:
Need a minimum of €2000 per person per month + €1250 for partner
