Types of residence permit depending on the duration of the employment contract
Similarly, the residence permit also depends on a work contract, with the difference that you can obtain a residence permit for purposes other than work depending on whether the host country has judged that you are able to live there by your own or with the help of a loved one. So there are three types of residence permit according to the employment contract that you are negotiating.
We have a short-term residence permit for fixed-term contracts generally ranging from 3 to 12 months renewable.
We have a residence permit that goes from one year to five years, which in addition to identity documents for its design, it requires a certificate of residence and a map of independent workers for the self-employed. Renewable also after 5 years and may lead to another longer permit, the permanent permit.
The permanent permit has a validity of 10 years, and confers the status of permanent resident, being renewable only if your absences in the host country have not been very significant over this period of 10 years.
Sarah Murphy, 34 years old English, tells her story: “I lived in France for 6 years with a permanent residence permit, and later returned to England for a period of 3 years consecutively. I had a new job, so I was obliged. I came back to France, and after 1 year, I wanted to renew my permanent residence permit, but it was refused”. You should understand that you automatically lose the status of permanent resident after 2 consecutive years outside the host country.
