Can I work full-time during holidays in France?


Great question! In France, international students with a valid student visa are generally allowed to work part-time during their studies. The standard rule is:

- During the academic year: You can work up to 964 hours per year, which averages to about 20 hours per week (part-time).
- During holidays/vacation periods: You are permitted to work full-time (i.e., up to 35 hours per week, which is the legal full-time in France).

Key Points:
- Your right to work is automatic with your student residence permit; you do not need a separate work permit.
- Work hours are calculated annually, not weekly, so you can work more during breaks if you work less during term time.
- Make sure your work does not interfere with your studies, as academic progress is important for visa renewal.
