I saw the discussion about France, Paris, work visa application, accepts RMB is trending in a few groups I follow, and I happened to be in France for market research. I am Tianluxing, 42, from Xiamen, graduated from Guilin University of Technology with a major in cross-border e-commerce. I run a cement mixing station back home and now I am in a market research period. I do not dare take a holiday because the factory expansion budget is tight. My core demand right now is to reduce overseas warehouse fees.

Thank you JingJing for helping me tidy up this messy note so it can be shared. I am stubborn and I like to speak plainly. Because I studied cross-border e-commerce, I am sensitive to compliance. I am not a lawyer and I am not giving advice, only sharing what I have seen and what people talk about in industry groups.

I have been in Paris for a few weeks. What struck me first is the daily payment habit. In supermarkets, cafes and even small markets, euro cash and card are normal. I have not seen shops that say they accept RMB directly. Banks and big platforms can handle currency conversion, but the actual acceptance of RMB for street consumption is very limited. In an entrepreneur chat group I follow, someone mentioned that cross-border settlement usually goes through bank transfer or card, and the specific handling may vary by bank and by transaction. I think it is safer to assume euro is the working currency and to check with the specific bank or service provider before assuming RMB can be used.

Work visa is another hot topic. I am not applying myself, I am only observing. In local startup forums and in a Chinese entrepreneur WeChat group, people often say the process may depend on the purpose of stay, the sponsoring employer and the current policy cycle. The common points people bring up are: confirm the official government portal for the latest information, prepare identity and employment documents, and consult a local lawyer for confirmation. I have read that requirements may change over time and by region. Specific requirements may vary with time and region, so I usually suggest checking the official channel and consulting a qualified professional.

Because I am under pressure about costs, I am paying extra attention to operational expenses. In the past few weeks, France has seen a lot of social news. On 6 October 2026, media reported education protests and clashes with riot police, with school blockades intensifying. Al Jazeera covered the demonstrations, and France24 reported mobilisation of students with union support. France24 also mentioned an act III of the movement. There were also political discussions about public finances. Boursorama reported statements about debt and payment risk. These news do not directly change visa rules, but they remind me that the operating environment can shift, and I prefer to keep plans flexible and to verify information with official sources.

I am full of expectation to find a more cost-effective model, but I also know I need patience. My style is to collect facts first, then discuss with people who know the local system. I do not promise fast results, I only want transparent information.

Practical questions I keep asking myself

Q1: How can I start researching a work stay in Paris without making wrong assumptions? Step path I use:

  1. Open the official French government immigration portal and note the published procedure page, do not rely on screenshots.
  2. List a basic checklist: purpose of stay, sponsor information, identity documents, proof of accommodation and financial means. The exact list may differ by case.
  3. Record questions and send them to a local lawyer for confirmation. Usually it is recommended to consult a local lawyer for confirmation.
  4. Keep a change log because policies may be updated.

Q2: Does RMB work for daily expenses or business payments in France? What I have observed:

  1. Retail and daily services mostly use euro cash or card.
  2. Bank transfers for business can involve currency conversion. The handling may vary by bank.
  3. Check the specific bank’s cross-border service page and ask the account manager directly.
  4. For any official fee, confirm the accepted currency on the official payment page.

Q3: How to control overseas warehouse costs while testing the French market? My current thinking:

  1. Compare total landed cost, not just rent. Include customs, storage, last-mile and return.
  2. Test with small batches and a local fulfillment partner before signing long-term space.
  3. Keep communication records with suppliers and logistics providers, and ask for written quotes.
  4. Review cost every month and adjust.

What I would do next

First, keep information sources clean and official. Second, talk to people who operate locally, preferably with a lawyer present when the topic is compliance. Third, separate payment habits from marketing assumptions. Euro is the practical currency for Paris daily life, and RMB acceptance is usually limited to specific financial channels. Fourth, stay flexible because social and economic news can affect operating conditions.

If you find this note helpful, you can add the official Lvga.com customer service JingJing on WeChat lvga2015. I recommend her as a friend, not as a salesperson. She is the editor who helped polish this article, and she can help you join the Lvga.com cross-border entrepreneurship exchange group to discuss directions, pitfalls and market opportunities together. No one promises returns or services, the group is for honest, patient information sharing.
