Step 1
Loss of employment: documents, France Travail, unemployment and residence permit
At the end of the contract, collect a work certificate, employer's certificate for France Travail, balance of any account and latest bulletins. Sign up without undue delay, without considering the ARE as automatic. Refresh the Caf and health coverage; if your title depends on employment, quickly check the effect on its specific category and on the next renewal.

Step 2
Dismissal: the basis for the employee
A dismissal must be based on a real and serious cause and must follow a strict procedure. The classic sequence includes convocation, pre-interview and then the reasoned letter. Checking your end-of-contract documents quickly is essential.

Step 3
Registration to France Travail
Enrolment provides job-seeker status, support and, if the conditions are met, the return to employment assistance allowance. It alone does not create a right to compensation.

Step 5
Portability of mutual benefit: maintaining mutual benefit after dismissal
The Evin law (portability) allows you to keep your mutual company after a dismissal (licensing, end of CDD, contractual breakdown), up to 9 months for employees receiving compensation. It is a protection against breakage during job search. Here's who it suits, how to activate and essential.

Step 6
Change of status: moving from one residence permit to another
The change of status is the procedure for moving from one type of residence permit to another in France, without leaving the territory. The most frequent transitions: student → employee, visitor → employee, spouse → employee. This makes it possible to regularize on the spot, without a long-stay visa from abroad, but subject to the agreement of the prefecture. Here's when it applies, what to lay down and the risks.
