aidil,

If your card expires in January, you can apply for a renewal through your Italian health insurance system.

Otherwise, as stated in the forum reply: If you do not have an EHIC, nor an S1 form, and you are not entitled to any other European health insurance, you can apply directly via our student website : https://etudiant-etranger.ameli.fr

Have a nice day.

Hello aidil,

If you are a European student and hold a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) that is valid for the entire period of your studies, you do not need to register with CPAM (Caisse primaire d’assurance maladie).

As soon as you start working, you will be able to register on the criteria of employment. You must then submit an application for registration with the CPAM.

You’ll find more information in this forum subject : How to be covered if I am a European student?

I wish you a nice day.

Hello, I am a student in France and I live here temporarily but I intend to stay here permanently once I finish my studies. Because I am a student I don’t have a job. I’ve been in France for a year and I have one more year left of studies, after that I will study masters in France or find a job in France. The tessera sanitaria I currently have will expire in January 2027, so very soon.

Hello aidil,

Be attached to the French healthcare system depends on your personal situation.

So, to give you information about the possibility to apply for social security number, can you tell me :

- Your situation in France ? Do you live there permanently or temporarily ? For how long ?

- Do you work ? If so, precise if you work for a french or foreign company.

- Are you a student ? Do you do an internship ?

Waiting for your reply to inform about your rights.

Have a nice day.
