Health Care and Insurance

According to the regulations made by Chinese Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Public Safety, all the international students in China are required to have comprehensive insurance based on the national and school policies.


For all the international students whose study period is less than 6 months, you need to present to Asian office with the approved insurance policy (the insurance coverage is higher than the coverage of “Comprehensive Medical Insurance Policy for Foreigners Staying in China and the insurance effective period should cover the study period). If the existing insurance doesn’t reach the requirement, or you don’t have any insurance, you are required to purchase “Ping An Insurnace” (400 Yuan/6 Months).
For Chinese students, the health care and insurance provided by France is not covered the period of your study in home country, you will need to provide an additional commercial insurance to cover the study period in China.


According to the orientation and student success law n°2018-166 adopted on March 8 2018, a new reform has been implemented stating that all procedures regarding student social security (health insurance) have been simplified and students don’t have to contribute to the Sécurité Sociale anymore.
