Article L431-3 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

Holding a provisional document issued in connection with an application for a residence permit, an asylum application certificate or a provisional residence permit authorises the foreign national’s presence in France without prejudging the final decision that will be taken with regard to their right to residence. Subject to the exceptions provided for by law or regulations, these documents do not authorise their holders to engage in professional activity.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L431-3


La détention d’un document provisoire délivré à l’occasion d’une demande de titre de séjour, d’une attestation de demande d’asile ou d’une autorisation provisoire de séjour autorise la présence de l’étranger en France sans préjuger de la décision définitive qui sera prise au regard de son droit au séjour. Sous réserve des exceptions prévues par la loi ou les règlements, ces documents n’autorisent pas leurs titulaires à exercer une activité professionnelle.
