Validity-additional information:
depends upon the validity of the type D long-stay visa in the passport
Since 1 June 2009, consulates have issued certain categories of foreign national (spouses of French nationals coming under the "private and family life" heading, temporary workers with a contract of less than 12 months, students, visitors and salaried persons employed for less than 12 months) with long-stay visas valid for one year, dispensing them from the obligation to apply for a residence permit.
After entering France, the foreign national must go to the regional OFII directorate which covers the place of residence, taking the passport containing the long-stay visa, proof of address in France, a medical certificate and a photograph, and must pay a fee.
The foreign national is only authorised to reside in France once he has completed these formalities within three months of entry into France, as attested by the OFII's sticker and ink stamp.
The sticker is additional to the ink stamp (FRA-DO-01001) applied by the OFII since 15 July 2009
