Forecast: Long-term Residence Permits Given to United Arab Emirates Citizens in France

In 2023, the number of long-term residence permits given to UAE citizens in France was likely very low, as suggested by the consistent forecast values from 2024 to 2028. These forecasts indicate an unchanging trend with no year-on-year variation, reflecting a steady issuance of two permits annually. This lack of variation over the years underscores a stable but minimal demand or policy constraint on the issuance of these permits.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Potential changes in immigration policies in France that could impact the number of permits issued.
• Shifts in the socio-political or economic environment in the UAE or France that could alter migration trends.
• Developments in bilateral relations between the UAE and France, which might affect mobility agreements.
