  • This article misses a lot of details regarding the actual proficiency.

    The way language proficiency in Europe is measured is with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Abbreviated as CEFR, CEF, or CEFRL).

    The date that the required French proficiency will change is January 1st 2026.

    Most important proficiency changes:

    • Up to 10 year temporary residency will change from A2 to B1.
    • Permanent residency will change from B1 to B2.

    (The actual definitions of these levels can be found at the CEFR link above. It’s too big to post.)

    French courses seem to teach these levels within these durations:

    • A2: up to 200 hours
    • B1: up to 400 hours
    • B2: up to 600 hours

    A2 can be reached with short form apps such as Duolingo. B1 often requires books or courses. B2 is where you’ll most likely have to start conversing in French. (Duolingo is said to be able to teach B2 French, but I consider this questionable).
