recommended to start this procedure very early.

Health insurance

Some Students have to apply to the CEF on-line procedure as well (65countries are concerned): https://www.campusfrance.org/en/procedurestudying-in-France

costs. Subscription to health insurance is mandatory (upon they arrival) forstays of more than 3 months, unless there is a bilateral agreement between
France and your country of origin. This is the case for all member states of theEuropean Union, European Economic Area, as well as Switzerland andQuebec: steps are thus to be taken before their arrival in France. For more
