Can international students work full-time during holidays in France?


Yes, international students in France can work full-time during holidays.

Here’s how it works:
- During the academic year: International students (with a valid student visa or residence permit) are allowed to work up to 964 hours per year, which averages to about 20 hours per week.
- During holidays (university vacation periods): You are allowed to work full-time (up to 35 hours per week), as long as you do not exceed the 964-hour annual limit.

Key Points:
- You do not need a separate work permit; your student residence permit allows you to work.
- Your main priority must remain your studies, and the annual work hour limit applies.
- If you are on an internship that is a requirement of your program, these hours are generally not counted against your work limit.
