expatriación profesional

Every year, more and more French people choose to live abroad. By 2025, more than 2.5 million of them will be living abroad, according to the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs. Whether motivated by a professional opportunity, a family project or a quest for change, expatriation represents a real logistical and emotional upheaval.

Muter Loger offers specialized support for employees undergoing international professional transfers. From the search for accommodation to settling in the host country, the company facilitates every stage, helping families to make a success of their departure.

Understanding the scale of French expatriation

  1. Millions of French nationals living abroad

In January 2025, over 1.74 million French nationals were listed in the consular register. In reality, it is estimated that over 2.5 million live abroad, as registration is not compulsory. The most popular countries are Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Canada. These destinations are attractive for their lifestyle, professional opportunities and multicultural environments.

   2. A varied profile, but often linked to professional mobility

The majority of French expatriates are between the ages of 26 and 60. A large proportion go abroad as part of a professional transfer or international contract. This type of mobility requires rigorous organization. Administrative formalities, accommodation, children’s schooling and sometimes the spouse’s job all have to be managed.

Muter Loger intervenes to simplify all these steps, to guarantee a serene departure for the whole family.
