Attract foreign doctors and “meet the need for recruitment” in the health sector.

The government wants to create a new multi-year residence permit called "talent - medical and pharmacy professions", which concerns doctors "whatever their specialty", midwives, dental surgeons and pharmacists, specifies the text sent Monday at the Council of State.

After the "jobs in tension" residence permit already announced by the government to respond to sectors with labor shortages, this new card completes the "integration" section of the bill aimed at "controlling immigration". and "improve integration", carried by the Ministers of the Interior Gérald Darmanin and Labor Olivier Dussopt.

For healthcare professionals and their families

According to article 7 of the text, this card is intended for health professionals and their families “as soon as they are recruited by a public or private non-profit health establishment”.

It “will make it possible to improve the readability and attractiveness of the right of residence for these qualified publics, while taking into account the challenges of verifying the aptitude of foreign professionals to practice in the hospital sector”, justifies the executive.

The text thus plans to condition the issuance of the title to an authorization from the regional health agency.

Its period of validity, from one to four years, will depend on the validation by the practitioner of the "EVC", the knowledge verification tests.

This bill on immigration, which must be presented to the Council of Ministers in January before being examined in the Senate and then in the National Assembly at the beginning of 2023, was the subject of all-out consultations at the end of the year. as well as a heated debate without a vote in Parliament.

As indicated for several months by the government, it gives pride of place to measures intended to encourage the expulsion of foreign offenders, in particular through a "structural" reform of asylum, and contains several articles aimed at making the integration of strangers.
