Précarité administrative : Amnesty International alerte sur la « maltraitance silencieuse » des étrangers en France
The report published on November 5, 2025, by Amnesty International paints an alarming picture of the treatment of foreigners by French prefectures. The organization describes a "manufactured administrative precarity," where every procedure becomes an obstacle course. Behind the endless queues and frozen screens of online platforms, lives are put on hold. Undocumented workers are denied housing, employment, or even healthcare, trapped in a system that seems to confuse administrative rigor with human indifference.
Residence permits, often issued for very short periods, plunge thousands of people into a state of constant uncertainty. Unavailable appointments, overwhelmed websites, and ever-increasing processing times lead to dramatic breaches of rights. Amnesty International cites the case of numerous foreign workers employed in essential sectors such as construction, home care, and catering, who continue to keep the economy running while living under the threat of non-renewal.
According to the organization, these malfunctions are not exceptions, but symptoms of a deeper problem: the forced shift to digital services and the lack of human resources in the prefectures. Digital technology, intended to simplify procedures, often becomes an invisible barrier for those who do not know how to use the tools or do not have internet access.
Amnesty International calls on France to restore a more humane administration, simplify procedures, and guarantee more stable residency permits. It also advocates for civil society to be fully involved in reforming the system, so that the right to residency is no longer a solitary struggle, but a promise of dignity.
