When a foreign national has submitted an application for asylum which falls within France’s jurisdiction, the administrative authority, after informing the foreign national of the grounds on which a residence permit may be issued and the consequences of not submitting an application on other grounds at this stage, asks the foreign national to state whether he/she believes he/she is entitled to claim admission to residence on another basis and, if so, to submit his/her application within a period set by decree. They are informed that, subject to new circumstances, in particular for health reasons, and without prejudice to article L. 611-3, they may not, on expiry of this period, apply for admission to residence.
The conditions for application of this article are specified by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
