How long is the French EU Long-Term Resident card valid and can I work with it?

Once granted, the EU Long-Term Resident card gives you durable status. It is valid for 10 years and can be renewed, with renewal handled online through the ANEF system, generally in the window before it expires.

The card authorises employment in France without needing a separate work permit, and it also lets you reside for more than three months in other EU member states under their conditions. This combination of work freedom in France and mobility across the EU is one of the main advantages over a standard temporary card.
