Once an internship has been arranged, the intern has to sign a training agreement that will provide the terms and conditions under which she/he will perform the job. Non-European citizens have to apply for a long-stay visa and a residence permit in France. More details for the documents needed are provided below.
A helpful card
that interns can have with them is the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
that can be used to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare in France. When
someone shows hers/his EHIC, she/he will receive treatment under the same
conditions and at the same cost as
people insured in France.
Air tickets are paid by the intern. A good and updated site is the following: http://www.airtickets.gr/.
