How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The residence permit may be extended if the investment is held and not withdrawn.

At this stage, the investment may be withdrawn from the business.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

The Talent-project residence card authorises residence in France and commercial activity linked to the project. For a stay under 12 months, the consulate issues a long-stay visa serving as a residence permit marked “talent”; for a stay of at least one year, it issues a three-month “talent” long-stay visa and the residence-card application follows. The official page does not establish a specific investment-maintenance period, renewal rule, longer-term residence or citizenship direction, or what happens to the investment after grant.
