IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? The French government will publish a decree that implements new rules for intracorporate transfers on March 1, 2019.
What does the change mean? Applicants for seconded employee ICT cards will be required to have a minimum tenure of six months with the employer before coming to France. Previously, three months of experience was required. Additionally, the decree will establish a new cooling-off period, requiring ICTs to exit France upon expiration of their ICT card and wait at least six months before they are eligible to reapply for a new card.
Background: France’s new immigration law was ratified and published in September 2018. The bulk of the law addresses asylum seekers and illegal immigration, but it also contains some provisions related to high-skilled immigration, including these stricter rules for ICTs.
Analysis & Comments: The new law introduces stricter criteria for seconded employees. The full impact on high-skilled immigration will be clearer once the implementing decree is issued and authorities begin enforcing the law.
