Stay for medical care

Your situation

You need to consult a doctor or specialised clinic, receive treatment in a hospital or receive aftercare.

Your visa

The visa issued to you for medical care reasons is a short-stay visa and does not exclude a private stay or tourism. The cost of any medical care you receive in France will not be covered by the French health insurance system.

Your supporting documentation

In addition to the general documentation usually required for any short-stay visa, you will also be asked to provide specific supporting documentation. It will be examined in strict respect of medical confidentiality.
