A foreign national whose application for residence is based on humanitarian considerations or is justified on the basis of the exceptional grounds he or she has put forward may be issued with a temporary residence permit bearing the words “employee”, “temporary worker” or “private and family life”, without the condition set out in article L. 412-1 being applicable.
When the administrative authority is considering refusing an application for exceptional admission to a residence permit made by a foreign national who can prove by any means that he/she has been habitually resident in France for more than ten years, it must submit this application to the residence permit commission provided for in article L. 432-14 for its opinion.
The procedures for applying this article are set out in article L. 432-14.
The procedures for applying this article are defined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
