Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97) - France (RATIFICATION: 1954)

Regularization of migrant workers. The Committee notes that section 40 of the Act No. 2007-1631 of 20 November 2007 provides, on an exceptional basis, for the issuing of a temporary residency permit with the indication of “employed person”. It concerns a restricted number of third-country nationals whose qualifications are particularly needed in the labour market. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether third-country nationals who find themselves in an irregular situation are able to obtain such a permit. Please also continue to provide information on any procedures for the regularization of persons in an irregular situation.

[The Committee is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2010.]
