Passeport Talent renamed "Talent" and restructured

The Passeport Talent residence permit was renamed "Talent" and consolidated from its previous proliferation of sub-categories into a simpler two-family structure: "skilled talent" (qualified employees, researchers, Blue Card) and "project talent" (founders of innovative projects, investors, artists). Talent permit holders remain exempt from labour-market testing and from the A2 French language requirement that applies to most multi-year residence permits from 2026.
