Interns are entitled to this special residence permit, as long as they fulfil the eligibility conditions.
With your status, you will obtain a French Special Resident Permit with a code “EM”, which does not grant any Privileges and Immunities (P&I) apart from the facilitated working and immigration process.
Interns will only obtain the French special residence permit if they have been delivered the specific French ITER visa called “PROMAE visa” in the first place (please refer to the Visas Section.
