I hope all is well! Currently, I live in Germany (not my home country) where I have my social security. I am Swiss and Turkish but only lived and had social security in Turkey. Except for the current German one, I do not have any other EU social security number. I just took a job offer in France. The company asked me to apply for my provisional social security number but I will not be in France for still some time. They also asked me to have my onboarding for a month in a non-EU country starting from my first day and on. This means that I may not be able to physically be in France to apply for this number even after my employment starts. </p><p>Is there a way for me to start the process of registration for the social security number from abroad? Can someone advise me on how to proceed here, please? </p><p>Thank you!</p></div> <div class="body-ft"></div> </div>
