Applying for a France visa

Applications are filed at the centers designated by France in your country of residence (TLScontact, VFS Global or Capago depending on the country), with the form completed on the France-Visas platform. The insurance certificate covering your full stay is on the official checklist. For long stays (studies, family), see our type D visa page.

Healthcare costs in France

A doctor's visit is paid out of pocket for an uninsured visitor, and a single day in hospital runs to hundreds or thousands of euros. Without insurance these costs are fully yours: the 30,000 euro minimum is not a formality, it genuinely protects you.
