Loi Immigration (Loi pour contrôler l'immigration) enacted

Law 2024-42 was promulgated on 26 January 2024 after the Conseil constitutionnel struck down 35 provisions. The surviving text tightened family-reunification income and housing requirements, lengthened residence requirements for certain social benefits, revised the carte de séjour "étranger malade" criteria, and created a limited talents-based regularisation for shortage-occupation workers. A further "circulaire" in 2025 set administrative thresholds for regularisations.
