🇬🇧 English

This order updates the official list of public innovation support schemes that count for a residence-related rule in France. In practice, it mainly affects foreign founders, researchers, and innovative company staff who rely on eligible public backing to support an immigration or residency file. The change is technical: it replaces the old annex with a new one, updates the legal reference in the title, and confirms the measure applies in Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. Companies and advisors should check that any support they rely on still appears on the updated list before using it in a permit application.
