What must actually exist or be demonstrated: business plan, company, innovation, clients, contracts, economic activity, job creation or other substance?

What business/self-employed activity may the holder conduct? Are there important restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm what business or self-employed activity the holder may conduct or any restrictions on it. On family, the residence card application form has a separate case for a family member of a resident, who provides a copy of the marriage certificate or family booklet and a copy of the resident spouse's valid residence card.

What approval/application sequence applies, how long is the status granted, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction is officially stated?

The residence card is valid 2 years; the card fee is 150,000 FCFA plus a deposit (caution) that depends on nationality, with an accommodation certificate, the host's ID and the latest SEEG bill in every case. The same form is used for a first application or a renewal. The official source does not state the approval sequence or a longer-term residence direction.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The form does not state renewal conditions beyond the application form, or any longer-term or permanent residence route.
  • The form does not set out the approval sequence (e.g. Agrément de commerce before the card).
