Why students need health insurance in France?

Before you can get your student visa approved, you’ll need to prove you have valid health insurance. Our expat health insurance plan fulfills all visa requirements and gives you immediate access to medical care from the moment you land in France — including emergency treatment, prescriptions, doctor visits, and more. It’s your bridge until you’re eligible for Sécurité Sociale (public health insurance), or you can keep it for your full stay in France.
