Many thanks! I'm still worrying about the 5 year residency giving access to CMU as it doesn't mention it in the latest statement - in fact it says ALL inactifs not covered by E forms must have private insurance. Please reassure me!!!    Report

04/10/2007, 14:04 cooperlola Joined on 05/05/2006 72 - Sarthe - home of les 24 heures du Mans Posts 7,597 Re: Useful links and websites If you look at the French link, you will see that Inactifs can apply for a carte de sejour permanent after 5 years.  Then, this alters their status, thus : "Carte de séjour permanent  Les citoyens qui ont acquis un droit au séjour permanent en France peuvent demander la délivrance d'une carte de séjour "CE - séjour permanent - toutes activités professionnelles", valable vingt ans.  Cette carte, dont la possession n'est pas obligatoire, est renouvelable de plein droit" In effect, classification is then no longer "inactif" but "toutes activites professionelles."  But it's still not totally clear whether you'd have to be working or not, from the above. There is still a bit of ducking and diving going on with this, so this is the most concrete evidence we have.  When it's clearer, we'll add a more positive link.     Healthcare Issues Site    Report
