Irish passport holders enter France visa-free for unlimited stays as EU citizens. No fee, no advance application. A valid Irish passport is required. Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so flights to France go through passport control, but EU citizens are processed quickly. French border officers almost never ask for supporting documents from Irish nationals.
For stays beyond 3 months, no formal residence permit is required for EU citizens, but registering at the local mairie (town hall) simplifies administrative life. To work, your employer handles Social Security registration. For healthcare, apply for a Carte Vitale through the CPAM (Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie) once you have proof of stable residence. Bring employment contracts, proof of address, and your birth certificate with apostille (translated by a sworn translator).
