Article L581-4 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

A foreign national benefiting from temporary protection who applies for asylum remains subject to the temporary protection regime while their application is being examined. If, following examination of the asylum application, refugee status or the benefit of subsidiary protection is not granted to the foreign national benefiting from temporary protection, the latter retains the benefit of this protection as long as it remains in force.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L581-4


Le bénéfice de la protection temporaire ne préjuge pas de la reconnaissance de la qualité de réfugié au titre de la convention de Genève du 28 juillet 1951. Il ne peut toutefois être cumulé avec le statut de demandeur d’asile.
L’étranger bénéficiaire de la protection temporaire qui sollicite l’asile reste soumis au régime de la protection temporaire pendant l’instruction de sa demande. Si, à l’issue de l’examen de la demande d’asile, le statut de réfugié ou le bénéfice de la protection subsidiaire n’est pas accordé à l’étranger bénéficiaire de la protection temporaire, celui-ci conserve le bénéfice de cette protection aussi longtemps qu’elle demeure en vigueur.
