France has introduced new insurance requirements for foreign nationals applying for short-stay visas. The country outlines mandatory coverage conditions for medical emergencies and other situations. The changes aim to ensure visitors have proper health protection during their stay. The insurance must cover specific medical expenses and emergencies. The new rules apply to all visa applicants from outside the European Union. Officials say the policy strengthens visitor safety and compliance with international standards. The details were published in an official government notice. The requirements are part of broader efforts to improve visa procedures. Travelers must provide proof of insurance when submitting their visa application. The policy does not affect long-term residency applications.
