According to Algérie360, health coverage is open to any stable resident, with a three-month condition for people without a job.
Employees, students, spouses or families arriving through family reunification: all Algerians settling in France must obtain a social security number, Algérie 360 reports. The process takes place in two stages, with a provisional number followed by a permanent one.
The health insurance fund first assigns a temporary identification number, valid for nine months. It allows the holder to be reimbursed for care, but not to obtain a Vitale card or open an account on the ameli website. The permanent number is issued after verification of civil status.
The first step is to send the form "Application to open health insurance rights" (S1106) to the local primary health insurance fund for the place of residence, with a copy of a valid identity document or residence permit.
People who do not work must show stable residence of at least three months. This condition does not apply to employees, students or families joining an insured person. Rights are maintained as long as the person lives in France at least six months a year.
