Limits of the record
  • Searched for qualification, experience, salary or labour-market criteria; the page only names 'salarié hautement qualifié' and the same-group secondment, which is the text of the protected R1/R2 answers; no defined qualification or salary threshold.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

A valid work authorisation is required. At renewal: if the employer extends the mission, a valid work authorisation; if the holder no longer holds a job, the former employer's certificate of termination and, for a change of status, a written request; if the holder has changed profession, a valid work authorisation for the position held. Family: a multi-year 'Talent (famille)' residence card may be issued to the spouse of a foreign national holding a residence permit bearing the 'talent' mention, and to the couple's children.

Limits of the record
  • Work/activity rights of the family members are not stated in the source
  • Whether the holder may work outside the group/employer is not stated

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The situation leads to a multi-year 'Talent' residence card; multi-year cards last a maximum of four years. A holder already staying in New Caledonia must request renewal of the residence title within the 2 months before it expires.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not state renewal conditions specific to this Talent situation, nor a residence-card or citizenship pathway for it.
  • The link between this situation and the Talent card rests on the Talent situation list cited in the protected R1 answer.
