Hello everyone! My husband and I have been on his talent titre de séjour for the last few years. It is set to expire soon and we wish to stay. Does anyone know if it’s possible to change to another type of titre de séjour and which one? Any advice would be appreciated

Yes, it is possible to change to another type of titre de séjour (residence permit) in France. Here are some options and the process involved:
Types of Titre de Séjour
Passeport Talent: This includes various categories such as "creation d'entreprise" (business creation), "projet économique innovant" (innovative economic project), and others. If you are currently on a Passeport Talent, you can switch to another category within this type if your situation changes (e.g., from salaried employment to business creation).
Vie Privée et Familiale: This is for those who are spouses of French citizens, parents of French children, or have other family ties in France. This type of permit allows you to stay in France based on your private and family life.
Salarié/Travailleur Temporaire: If you have a job offer in France, you can apply for this type of permit. It is suitable for those who are employed or have a temporary work contract.
Entrepreneur/Profession Libérale: If you plan to start a business or work as a freelancer, you can apply for this type of permit.
Process for Changing Titre de Séjour
Application Before Expiry: You must apply for a change of status before your current residence permit expires.
Online Application: Many applications, including those for Passeport Talent, can now be submitted online through the ANEF (Administration Numérique des Étrangers en France) platform.
Required Documents: The documents required will depend on the type of permit you are applying for. Generally, you will need to provide:
A valid passport
Proof of current residence permit
Proof of address
Relevant documents supporting your new status (e.g., employment contract, business plan, family documents).
4. Fees: There are administrative fees associated with the application, which vary depending on the type of permit. For example, the Passeport Talent has a fee of €225.
5. Approval Process: After submitting your application, you will receive various certificates as your application is processed. If approved, you will receive a new residence permit.
Recommendations
Check Eligibility: Ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for the new type of residence permit you are applying for.
Start Early: Begin the application process at least three months before your current permit expires to avoid any legal issues.
Consult Resources: Use official resources like the ANEF platform and the prefecture's website for the most accurate and updated information.
By following these steps, you can successfully change your titre de séjour and continue your stay in France.
