How long can we be out of the country?

Discuss the implications of leaving France on a carte de séjour visa. Learn about residency effects and regulations for stays outside Europe.

My husband has a carte de sejour pluriannuelle (2yrs long stay visa), we wanna go holiday this year out of Europe to visit my in laws but we're wondering if the visa will be cancelled and if it will impact his resident card application if we are out of the country for a while, we planning to go for 3wks maybe a whole month

Can't find the regulation

Thanks 馃槉

@Clemntine I don't think it will affect on your husband residency.If he has 2 years schengen visa, he will be okay to be in and out of EU on that period. But, if you are in doubts, better ask the sous pr茅fecture or prefecture in your area.
