If necessary, an advisor will respond in English.

Exceptions:

  •  If you are affiliated as a family member of an international civil servant with the social security system established by the international organization on which you are affiliated (for example, the European Union social system), you should not register on this site.

  • If you are an EU/EEA or Swiss citizen, you can apply for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from the social protection agency in your home country. See the List of countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) on Liste des pays de l’Union européenne (UE) et de l’Espace économique européen (EEE). As long it is valid, at least until the end of the academic year, this organization will continue to cover your reimbursements. In case of illness, you will only have to pay the user fee, upon presentation of this card or the provisional certificate of issue of the same to the professionals and health institutions. You do not have to register on the etudiant-etranger.ameli.fr site. 

  • If you are a national of the Principality of Monaco, apply to your Monegasque social security fund, prior to your departure, for a certificate of entitlement specifying your affiliation to Monegasque health insurance. You do not have to register on the student-foreign site.ameli.fr: upon arrival in France, you will submit this form to the professionals and health facilities you will see.

Is it true that EHIC is issued free of charge by the relevant authorities in your country?
