How to get a French residency and later French citizenship?

Citizens of third countries (not EU nationals) can get the resident status of France through the residency program for affluent individuals (Art R-313-6, Code de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d'asile). The qualifying applicants must have a local, French address. They must also prove the self-sufficient status and that they don't require state support. The most straightforward way to qualify is to open a bank account in France to deposit the funds and regularly receive income from abroad. Clean criminal past is also vital and of course, the submission of the necessary documents. 

The successful applicants and their family members receive the temporary French residence permit for an initial one year period. Then they can extend it or renew, and within five years they can apply for French citizenship.
