Yes, you can stay back in France after completing your studies! France offers an attractive post-study work option for international students:

For Bachelor’s Graduates:
- If you have completed your Bachelor’s degree in France and wish to stay, you can apply for a temporary residence permit (“Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour” or APS) valid for 12 months (non-renewable). This allows you to look for work or start a business related to your studies.

For Master’s and Higher Degree Graduates:
- If you complete a Master’s degree (or higher, such as an engineering or management program), you are eligible for a 12-month APS, which can be extended for another 12 months (total of 24 months). During this period, you can look for jobs or start your own company.

Work Permit After Studies:
- If you find a job related to your studies with a salary that meets the French minimum threshold, you can apply for a change of status from student to employee (“Passeport Talent” or worker’s residence permit), which allows you to stay and work in France.

PhD Graduates:
- PhD holders may have additional pathways, such as the “researcher” status, allowing them to remain for research or professional roles.

Key Points:
- The Post-Study Work (PSW) visa allows you to gain valuable international work experience.
- France is very welcoming to international talent, especially in sectors like technology, business, and engineering.
