Becoming a freelancer

As work-from-anywhere becomes more common, freelancing has also become more popular. But as a WHV holder in France, is it even possible to become a freelancer?

Yes, it is possible! You just need to be of majority age, have a mailing address in France, and have working authorization in France.

To learn how to set up your micro-entreprise, please read our guide on How to work in France as a freelancer on a WHV.

Hi there, do I need to get a tax number or some type of verification like a Social Security number in order to be paid by the French employer? Thanks in advance!
