When the foreign national applying for a multi-annual residence permit bearing the words “mobile ICT employee (family)” as provided for in article L. 421-28 resides outside France, the decision to issue the residence permit applied for is taken by the diplomatic or consular authority. The residence permit is issued to the foreign national by the Prefect of the département in which the foreign national has established residence in France or, in Paris, by the Police Prefect, upon presentation of the passport bearing a long-stay visa marked “salarié détaché ICT (famille)”.
When the foreign national is already admitted to reside on French territory, the decision to issue the residence permit applied for is taken by the prefect of his/her place of residence or, in Paris, by the police prefect.
