France has opened its doors to overseas tech talents with the new Tech Visa. This is even as the UK plans to have stringent borders after Brexit. Even the US continues with its anti-immigration stand under Trump administration.
The new Tech
Visa launched by France makes it easy
for Start-ups to hire overseas workers. The new scheme is already
operational from 1 March 2019. This is under the initiative of the French Government La French Tech.
France has
described it as one of the most open Start-up worker Visas in Europe.
La French Tech Director Kat Borlongan said that Brexit is making overseas tech talents feel less welcome.
So we want to be ready to assist 1000s
of tech talents to opt for France, she added.
The new Tech
Visa is not just overhauling of administrative procedures says Kat Borlongan.
It conveys a message that France is
ambitious and remains open. We are supporting our 1000s of Start-ups in
their complex growth pathway, added the Director.
Borlongan
explained that there is a scarcity of Product
Managers and professionals in Engineering, Marketing, and Sales. This has
resulted in a bottleneck. It has prevented Start-ups from growing and
developing effectively, she added.
Salaries are
being raised by the 5 major Tech firms – Microsoft,
Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon. This is making it tougher for
Start-ups to remain competitive, as quoted by the ZD Net.
Start-ups also
need to often scale speedily. The new Tech Visa has been designed to offer
liberty to the founders to expand their firm at the required pace. They can
qualify through 4 ways for this Visa:
- Having the status of JEI -
Young Innovative Enterprise - Having received funds from the
State - Having support from a venture
capitalist in France - Being backed by a VC that is
under the French Tech Program
