Expats health insurance (sometimes referred to as “incoming insurance”) is an ideal solution for your first years in France. It provides affordable coverage that meets the legal requirements for obtaining your visa, temporary residence permit, or renewal. Designed for newcomers, it ensures you have access to medical care while you transition into the French healthcare system.
You have a free choice of doctors, dentists, and hospitals recognized and accredited in France or your country of destination.
Simply remember that hospitals must be under permanent medical management and have sufficient diagnostic and therapeutic facilities.
Moving to France means access to one of the best healthcare systems in the world. After just 3 months of residency, you can register with the French public health insurance system (sécurité sociale).
Feather makes this transition simple. Once you're affiliated with the system, you can cancel your expat health insurance directly from your account and switch to a complementary private plan (mutuelle) to cover what the public system doesn't.
We provide proof of payment and written confirmation that the health insurance meets the visa requirements (stamped and signed) that can be used for the visa application.
For the newcomer and extended plans, the cancelation is monthly.
Designed for those retiring or living in France without employment, ensuring full coverage.
