[/quote]Much though I would not wish to contradict SD, I don't think it is quite as simple as SD indicates: eg you could have a work permit and right of residence in the UK but still need a VISA to enter France if you are not an EU citizen. Are you an EU citizen? If not then the answer is "it depends" (eg on whether you need a UK work permit, how long you have held one, etc) - you may still need a work permit.Pickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carp-guru Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hi Pickles. I work in the UK and am a UK resident for 38yrs so it was a general question. I am looking at moving to France and am looking into the posibility working in/at BMW France . I haden't heard of any problems with employment but I thought I would ask even so.

Mel Prett Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 You have a British passport then? No problem. Only members of the enlarged E.E.C. (after 2004) plus any other nationality needs a work-permit /carte de sejour. However if you have non british parents that could be another thing.
