What exact status does accumulated residence lead to?

The status is the indefinite-duration permanent resident card ('carte de résident permanent, à durée indéterminée'), with entitlement from the second renewal of a resident card.

See recorded sources

What qualifying residence period is required and when does the period begin?

Entitlement arises from the second renewal of a resident card ('dès le deuxième renouvellement d'une carte de résident'); the official source does not state a number of years or when the period begins.

Limits of the record
  • No explicit total number of years required is stated in the captured text.
  • The capture does not state when the qualifying period begins (e.g. date of first card issuance or first residence).
  • Durations of the initial resident cards and renewal intervals are not given in the captures.

Which types of residence count fully, partially or not at all where the official rules specify this?

Holders of resident cards under the listed articles (L.423-6, L.423-10, L.423-11, etc.) are the categories referenced as qualifying for the permanent resident card.

See recorded sources

What absence/continuity rules affect accumulation of the qualifying residence period?

L426-4 makes L411-5 applicable to the permanent resident card: a resident card lapses when its holder has left French Polynesia and resided abroad for more than three consecutive years (the consolidated text also refers to residence outside EU member states); this period can be extended if the holder asked before leaving or while abroad.

Limits of the record
  • How absences affect reaching the second resident-card renewal is not stated explicitly.

What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?

The permanent card is subject to public-order and L.413-7 conditions; it is granted as of the second renewal of a resident card; persons over 60 who meet the conditions may receive it without applying; resident cards may be withdrawn in certain cases. The official source does not state the application procedure or renewal periods.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No captured procedure for how to apply (forms, office, documentation) is provided.
  • The captures do not specify renewal periods or administrative timelines.
  • Detailed grounds and procedure for loss/withdrawal beyond the cited examples are not given in the supplied text.
