Expat health insurance in France at €72/month

Yes, if you’ve recently relocated to France and are looking for your first health insurance plan, you’re eligible for expat health insurance.

Yes, if you are not working or working as a self-employed person.

Yes, if you want to get insured quickly to get your visa or temporary residence permit because it’s affordable health insurance coverage that you can sign up for entirely in English.

However, it’s not a long-term solution. There’s a maximum term limit of five years.

Expat health insurance is an excellent option if you're a freelancer or self-employed. Expat insurance provides emergency and accidental coverage in addition to any illness you might have.

Yes, this policy meets the legal requirements for getting your first visa or residence permit in France and qualifies as your proof of health insurance.

However, it may not meet the requirements to renew your visa or residence permit.

If you need help getting health insurance to renew your visa or residence permit, reach out to us. We can talk you through your options after having expat insurance.

Immediately. Your policy documents will be waiting for you in your Feather account after you finish signing up.

You can use these documents as proof of health insurance for your visa or residence permit application.

Expat health insurance has a maximum term limit of five years. This five-year term starts on the first day you arrive in France.

For example, if you moved to France on the 1st of January 2020 but signed up for Expat Insurance on the 2nd of June 2021, you can only remain on the policy until the 1st of January 2025.

If you purchase a policy and the policy becomes active within 14 days of purchase, then you have 14 days to cancel your policy from the date of purchase and receive a full refund (as long as no claims were made during this period).

However, if you purchase a policy with a start date in the future (over 14 days), then you have any time before the policy becomes active to cancel it and receive a full refund.

After this period, you can still cancel anytime! Whenever you cancel, you would then no longer be charged during the next monthly billing cycle.

Yes, you'll have to pay upfront. We suggest paying the doctor or clinic as soon as possible to avoid any late fees. Following that, submit photos of all invoices, receipts, and documents related to the incident in your Feather account to get reimbursed. The reimbursement will be made to you, not to the doctor

Yes, dependents can be added to your plan. Please note that each dependent will have to have their own policy purchased, but we can add them all under one account for ease of access.

To add a dependent, simply:

1. Sign up for expat insurance for yourself first (or for the person you want to be the main policyholder)
2. Once you sign up, log into your Feather account and click on your expat policy.
3. Click 'add dependents', then add the dependent.
4. The basic policy price for dependents under 18 years of age is the same (72 euros).
