Insurance cover necessary when you come to study in France

You should make sure you have medical insurance and liability insurance before you come to France.

Medical insurance

• Students from the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland can benefit from social security cover.  They should obtain a European health insurance card.  A repatriation insurance is also highly recommended.
• Students from countries other than those mentioned above should take out private health and repatriation insurance cover. The necessary formalities for private health cover can be  carried out in the country of origin or on arrival in France.

Liability Insurance

You should have liability insurance which will cover you for all injury or damage to a third party while you are in France.  This type of insurance is often included in health and repatriation insurance contracts.

Young people Under the age of 18

Students under the age of 18 must provide the parental authorisation, the permission to use the image and the liaison health sheet completed and signed by their parents or legal representative before their stay. It will be entrusted to the host family who can check, if necessary, the authorised hours of discharge, the medical treatments followed as well as an authorisation for hospitalisation.

Visas to come to France, do I need a visa ?

Non-European nationals who intend coming to France to learn French must apply for a visa before leaving.  There exist several types of visa depending on the length of the stay and the purpose of the visit.

– Short stay visa, « visa Schengen » : a stay of less than or equal to  90 days (3 months). The short stay visa permits residence in France and in any of the other countries covered by the Schengen agreement

– Long stay visa : a stay of more than  90 days. This visa is necessary if you intend to study French for more than 3 months.

For more information on visas, you can consult the following sites:
