Students who do not pay any social security contribution
You will be considered as " social non-insurant " considering the
French Social Security, if you belong to one of the following categories
:
foreign student, whatever your age, registered in an educational
establishment giving no right to the student Social Security ;
foreign students over 28 on October 1st of the academic year.
If you are a part of one of these categories, it means that you
have no access to the student regime. Three possibilities are so
offered to you:
Personal insurance : You can sign a personal
assurance of the Social Security with the social security office
of your place of residence. This membership is very expensive if
you are over 28. Furthermore, the signer can " go out " of the personal
assurance only if he benefits from a compulsory regime (general
regime of the employees or legal successor of an insurant, for example).
Voluntary personal insurance : They are private
insurances the various contracts of which we advise you to read
attentively before choosing. Please, keep this simple principle
: generally speaking the less a brochure is complete or detailed,
the worse the surprises. On the other hand, we disadvise you the
social coverages of less than 150 euros : even if they are recognized
by prefectures for the request of residence permit, their services
are limited notably in case of serious problems requiring surgery
or hospitalization.

to benefit, under certain conditions, from the French Social Security
for their health expenditure (basic CMU or additional CMU). It is
necessary to inquire at the CPAM (Local center or Social Security)
