Why applications on this route get refused

  • Salary below the qualified-employee threshold

    A work contract paying less than the current gross annual salary threshold doesn't meet the condition for this route.

    How to avoid it: Check the current threshold with Service-Public.fr or your prefecture before you apply, and confirm your contracted salary meets or exceeds it.

  • Diploma not recognised as master's-level

    If your diploma isn't from a recognised institution or isn't accepted as at least equivalent to a French master's degree, the education condition isn't met.

    How to avoid it: Check how your diploma will be assessed before applying, and gather any equivalence documentation you can.

  • Incomplete or missing employer CERFA form

    The application needs form CERFA n°15614 completed by your employer, with its supporting documents. A missing or incomplete form can hold up or block the application.

    How to avoid it: Confirm with your employer that the CERFA form and every supporting document it asks for are ready before you submit.
