Is an employer, nominator, recognised body, peer group or government endorsement required?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether an employer, nominator or official endorsement is required.

Can the holder change employer, work independently, establish a business or conduct other professional activity? What is the family position?

The card allows the holder to stay in France and to exercise any salaried and/or non-salaried professional activity; for salaried work the employer need not request work authorisation and is exempt from the tax for employing a foreign national. Family can use the simplified accompanying-family procedure and obtain a 'talent-famille' card without family reunification; the spouse and minor children receive a multi-year 'Talent-famille' residence card.
