It provides for citizens of a third countries to apply for a French residency as an affluent individual if they have a French address; they are capable of proving that they are financially self-sufficient and do not require state support (i.e. they hold their own funds in a French bank account and receive a continual income from outside France); they do not have a criminal records; and they have submitted the necessary documents.
