Is this for a founder, startup entrepreneur, self-employed person, freelancer, company owner or another business profile?

This is a multi-year Talent Passport pathway for a foreign national who is the legal representative (salarié or mandataire social) of an establishment or company in French Polynesia.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The captured territorial CESEDA compilation is explicitly labelled informational only; its current promulgated wording should be checked before publication.

What must actually exist or be demonstrated: business plan, company, innovation, clients, contracts, economic activity, job creation or other substance?

The applicant must hold a legal-representative function in a Polynesian establishment, meet the gross-remuneration threshold and be salarié or mandataire social in an establishment or company of the same group (more than three months). Nationals of the zone de solidarité prioritaire face additional partnership or return-commitment conditions.

Limits of the record
  • Exact document types and a route-specific application checklist were not established.
  • The current list of countries in the Zone de solidarité prioritaire and the status of bilateral co-development agreements were not verified in the captures.

What investment, capital, income, revenue, funding or viability evidence is central to this pathway?

Gross annual remuneration must be at least three times the annual full-time minimum wage under the territorial code; the official source gives no fixed XPF amount.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The exact current XPF amount and calculation base for the local minimum wage are not given in the captures.
  • The code compilation is labelled informational only and should be checked against the authoritative enacted text for currency.

What business/self-employed activity may the holder conduct? Are there important restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

The Talent Passport permits the holder to exercise any professional activity subject to local law and the project considered. The spouse (aged 18 or over) and children who entered as minors can receive family Talent Passport cards for the remaining validity of the principal's card, with renewal conditions set in the territorial code.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The exact territorial application and the authoritative enacted wording of the family provisions require verification.
  • No route-specific High Commission family checklist was found in the captures.

What approval/application sequence applies, how long is the status granted, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction is officially stated?

The card may be granted on first admission, with validity set by the reasons for stay and the project, up to four years. Diplomatic or consular authorities decide the initial issue abroad, and the High Commissioner delivers the card on presentation of a long-stay Talent Passport visa; a provisional stay authorisation of up to six months may be issued. Applications are due within two months of arrival and renewals within two months before expiry. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The territorial code compilation is informational only, and no route-specific renewal checklist, fee schedule or post-card progression (to resident card) was identified in the captures.
  • The statement that listed titles do not lead to a resident card comes from the High Commission guidance but the territorial code contains separate resident-card provisions for family or other routes which were not fully reconciled here.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
