Article R422-12 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

The Prefect’s decision on the application for a residence permit bearing the words “seeking employment or setting up a business” provided for in articles L. 422-10 or L. 422-14 is notified to the foreign national in writing as soon as possible and at the latest within ninety days of the date on which the complete application was submitted.
As an exception to article R. 432-2, silence kept by the administrative authority on the application gives rise to an implicit rejection decision at the end of a ninety-day period.
