Can I work 20 hours per week in France?


Yes, as an international student in France, you are generally allowed to work part-time for up to 964 hours per year, which averages to about 20 hours per week during the academic year. This work authorization is automatically granted with your student visa (VLS-TS).

Key Points:
- 20 hours/week is the standard limit during term time.
- During holidays and university breaks, you may be allowed to work full-time, as long as you do not exceed the annual limit.
- The 964-hour limit applies to each academic year (September to August).

Please Note:
- You must be enrolled at a recognized French institution.
- Your job must not interfere with your studies.
- You will also have social security contributions deducted from your salary.
