My husband and I are both Lebanese with 2 teenagers (16 and 11) who are Lebanese/American. Our goal is to emigrate to France to work there and send our kids to school/college.

I am a:
-Talented Pastry Chef founder and owner of a Patisserie that has been doing business for at least 5 years specialized in event 3D cakes and handmade delicate pastry.
- I am also a holder of B.A. degree in Finance and Accounting and have 20 years of experience as an employee in this domain.

My husband is a biomedical technician engineer holder of a Master's Degree in Science - Electronics and has 30 years of experience in this field and as a Project Manager as well.
According to what we gathered researching online, there's multiple paths for working and/or emigrating to France:

1. The Talent Passport:
-Does a Pastry/Dessert Chef (founder and owner of a patisserie in Lebanon) fall under this category? Does an Electronic Engineer with a Master's degree and 25+ years of experience fall under this category?

2. Employed or Salaried Workers:
-What kind of visa allows us to apply for work in France? And how feasible is it to sign an employment contract with the employer.

3. EU Blue Card for highly skilled/educated workers:
-Does a Masters Degree in Electronic Engineering allows us to go this route?

4. Get a Phd:
-My husband has been thinking of getting a Phd. How easy/difficult it is to seek higher education in France and will it allow him to work there?


5. Open a Business:
-Our understanding is that we can reside in France if we open a business. I've always wanted to open a Patisserie outside of Lebanon so how does this work?

6. Via Family
My Husband's sister and brother in law (a family Medicine doctor) are both French citizens, would this help our case.

Thank you!

 

Thanks Cyrilexpat... Since I'm not in France, any idea (or recommendation) on how to find and contact an immigration laywer?
