Cases Won for Clients

Paris and Île-de-France are the main hub of Ukrainians in France. The Paris préfecture de police has its own appointment and review procedures: extending an APS (autorisation provisoire de séjour), transitioning to a titre de séjour, family reunification. Without professional support it is easy to lose months.

Zahist in Paris handles cases in the French and Ukrainian jurisdictions: status, work, family, business — with one team.

01

Status and immigration in Paris

Préfecture, APS, titre de séjour

Appointment slots at the Paris prefecture disappear within minutes, and a mistake in the dossier costs months of waiting. We prepare the dossier and represent the client.

  • Extending an APS under temporary protection
  • Transitioning to a titre de séjour: salarié, vie privée et familiale, entrepreneur
  • Passeport talent for qualified professionals
  • Family reunification (regroupement familial)
  • Appealing refusals before the tribunal administratif de Paris
  • Naturalization: French citizenship
02

Work and family in Paris

French employment law is among the most protective in Europe — and among the most formal. In parallel, family matters between France and Ukraine.

  • Reviewing a CDI/CDD before signing
  • Protection against dismissal, disputes before the conseil de prud'hommes
  • Recovery of unpaid wages
  • Divorce and child support between Paris and Ukraine
  • Child custody, international family disputes
  • Recognition of Ukrainian documents, legalization
03

Business in Paris

SARL, SAS, relocation

Paris is the business center of France. Ukrainian entrepreneurs open SAS and SARL companies here and enter the French market.

  • SAS/SARL registration: articles of association, capital deposit, greffe
  • Auto-entrepreneur status (micro-entrepreneur)
  • Business residence permit: entrepreneur/profession libérale
  • Commercial leases (bail commercial): contract review
  • Contracts with French counterparties
  • Relocating a business from Ukraine to France
