Health insurance for 70+

G
#1

I am 71, an EU citizen [my second nationality].  I want to get French residency and my carte vitale.  I know I don't have to register to live in France as an EU citizen but can I get a Carte Vitale?

Also do any of the insurance companies cover 70+ retirees.

I don't know the answer to the EU Carte Vitale question but Richard Hammond at Frenchconnectionshcb would know and can also refer you to a reasonably priced  health insurance policy plan through his associate Bruno. Retirees are among the greatest immigrants these days, I should think.

Bonjour Glenn. You might want to join a few FB sites: Strictly Santé France, Strictly Fiscale France, and Strictly Legal France, just to start with. Read the GUIDES before you ask any questions. The sites are administered by experts in their fields and the information is invaluable IMO.  Bon Chance.
