| Families & Kids French Health care for my daughter | phuketmark posted on 05/11/2009 at 12:24
 e-mail phuketmark | Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help me with this question.
I have looked in about every website going, but alas cannot find out whether my daughter, who is five years old, is entitled to enter the French healh care system.
We have been here around eighteen months and although I am not personally entitled to join until I have been resident here for five years, I was wondering if that also means my daughter...can anyone help me with the answer?
many thanks,
Mark

e-mail indigo | The AngloInfo site sums it up pretty clearly...
http://riviera.angloinfo.com/...nsure.asp
EU citizens gain the right of permanent residence in
France after a five years of uninterrupted legal residence (and this applies to
non-EU family members who have lived with them for that period. A "family
member" is the spouse or partner and any dependant child under 21 years). The right of permanent residence is lost
if the EU national was living away from from France for more than two successive
years.
EU citizens and family members with the right of residence are
entitled to equal treatment with French nationals. However, until the right of permanent
residence has been acquired, France is not obliged to provide social security to
anyone other than employed or self-employed workers and members of their direct family.
