However, for jobs in the State network abroad, the maximum duration may be less than 5 years.

The administration may decide not to respect the minimum or maximum period laid down, in the interests of the service or, in the case of the minimum period, to take account of an official's personal or family situation.

If you are in a job with a minimum or maximum duration, you can apply for support to carry out your mobility project.

Can your home administration refuse to allow you to mutilate?

When your transfer request has been accepted by your host administration, your home administration can only oppose your departure because of the operational requirements. Your home administration must demonstrate that your presence is essential to ensure the continuity of the service.

Your transfer is pronounced by your host administration.

It shall take effect no later than 3 months after the date of your request for transfer unless your home and host administrations agree on an earlier date.

If your home administration fails to reply within 2 months of the date of receipt of your request for transfer, this shall be deemed to have been accepted.

Your special status may provide for a period of notice exceeding three months, up to a maximum of six months.

Your special status may also provide for a minimum period of service with the administration to which you have been assigned for the 1^re once after your appointment in your body.

How to request your transfer?

You must apply to your home administration for a transfer in accordance with the rules in force in your administration.

You must also apply for a transfer to your host administration.
