Change of status (changement de statut): check the procedure before starting
Finishing your studies, finding a job or experiencing a change in family circumstances? The permit (titre de séjour) you want to apply for may differ from the one you hold.
- 14-day money-back guarantee
- Secure payment
- On WhatsApp, no app required
- Rules verified against official texts
A change of status is not a simple renewal. A new situation does not by itself confirm that you meet the conditions for the permit you want.
Three details to note
1. The exact name and expiry date of your current permit. 2. The permit you want to apply for. 3. Your prefecture (préfecture)'s instructions for this procedure.
Read the conditions and document requirements for the permit you want. Also check the published timetable and submission method. Keep the link and the date you read it. An old article or a relative's application may concern a different case.
Moving from studies to work?
The official page on work after studies distinguishes several situations, including according to diploma and nationality. Do not assume that a signed contract alone gives you the right to start that job.
If the conditions or your right to work are uncertain, seek confirmation suited to your case. If you receive an unfavourable decision, seek legal help without delay.
What our service offers
We prepare the renewals and citizenship applications described in our offers. This page does not offer a change of status package. We do not choose a legal strategy for you or carry out your employer's procedures.
The Questions Pass (Pass Questions) — 7 days describes the scope of general questions covered. Read its limits before buying: it does not prepare a change of status application or confirm a right to work. Free official information or legal help may be more suitable.
If you need a renewal
If you are renewing a permit within the service's scope, My Renewal (Mon renouvellement) helps organise steps and documents. The service does not guarantee continued rights or the prefecture's decision.
Do you have a separate French citizenship project? See the Citizenship preparations. This project does not replace your residence procedure.
Your questions
Is my new contract enough to change permits?
You must check the conditions for the requested permit and your situation. Do not rely only on having a contract.
Can you apply for me?
No. Our service does not prepare change of status applications. Follow official instructions and seek suitable support if needed.
Does the renewal calculator give the date for my change of status?
It is not a change of status calculator. Check the timetable for that procedure with your prefecture.
What if my permit expires soon?
Consult official instructions without delay. If your right to live or work in France is uncertain, seek support suited to your situation. Do not wait for our service to reply before acting.
Scope of the service
