It is precisely within this framework that the APS may be issued to you. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">The arrangement relating to sick foreign nationals applies to persons whose <b>state of health requires medical care<\/b> the absence of which could have consequences of exceptional gravity, and for whom there is no effective access to the appropriate treatment in the country of origin. When certain conditions, in particular of residence, are not met, a temporary residence authorisation may be issued.<br \/>This authorisation is in practice issued <b>for a limited period<\/b>, frequently <b>of the order of six months<\/b>, and may be renewed for as long as the medical care in France remains necessary and the legal conditions continue to be met.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">It does not require the presentation of a visa<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"FR\"> and, in principle, is <b>not subject to the \u20ac200 tax<\/b> applicable to certain residence permits.

You also have the freedom to embark on <b>a business creation<\/b> and to test a professional project without fear of irregularity. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">But be careful: the <b>employment must remain consistent with your skills<\/b>, and the contract must comply with French regulations. Outside this framework, the APS does not give unlimited access to the labour market.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">Access to care and social protection<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">Once you have your APS in hand, you can in principle <b>open rights to Social Security<\/b> (universal health protection) and, where applicable, to the Complementary Solidarity Health Cover, which allows access to care under conditions close to those of a resident. <b>State Medical Aid (AME) is rather aimed at persons without a residence permit<\/b> and therefore does not constitute the ordinary regime for holders of an APS. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">For many foreign nationals in a fragile situation, this right is vital: it guarantees that no illness goes untreated.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">Possibility of travelling with an APS<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">It is often a great disappointment: <b>the APS does not serve as a travel visa<\/b>. Leaving the territory with this permit, especially outside the Schengen area, can jeopardise your possibilities of returning. Some choose to leave anyway, thinking they can return easily, but discover too late that their APS is no longer valid at the border. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">In short: this document allows you to remain in France but not to travel freely<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"FR\">. If you have urgent travel abroad, it is imperative to <b>enquire with the prefecture or consulate before leaving.<\/b><\/span><\/p><h2 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">What to do after the expiry of an APS?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">The deadline always approaches faster than one imagines. When your APS comes to an end, it is essential to anticipate in order to avoid any interruption of rights and any slide into irregularity.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">Deadlines to respect<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">The residence permit application must be filed before the expiry of the APS, within the time limits set by the prefecture. In practice, it is recommended to anticipate well in advance and to file the file several weeks, or even a few months, before the end-of-validity date<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">How to renew your APS?<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">For students, certain bilateral agreements concluded between France and third States provide for specific arrangements allowing, under conditions defined by these texts, the extension of the period of job search or business creation after obtaining the degree. The duration and the modalities of renewal vary according to the country concerned. It is therefore essential to check, on a case-by-case basis, the stipulations of the applicable agreement and the information published by the administration (prefecture, Ministry of the Interior, Campus France offices) before filing the application.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">Progression towards a more stable residence permit<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">The <b>APS<\/b> is only a transitional step. It must always be considered as a <b>bridge towards a more stable residence permit<\/b>. Depending on your personal situation, several options are available to you:<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">For students<\/span><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">At the end of an APS obtained after a master&#8217;s-level degree or a professional bachelor&#8217;s degree, you can apply for the <b>&#8220;job search or business creation&#8221; temporary residence permit<\/b> (<b>Article L.422-10 of the CESEDA<\/b>).<br \/>This permit, with a duration of one year, allows you to look for a job connected with your training or to create a self-employed activity. The employment contract offered must comply with the legal minimum wage (at least 1.5 times the SMIC for certain qualified professions). If you find a lasting job, you can then progress to a <b>employee residence permit<\/b> or a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gpartners-avocat-etrangers.com\/en\/lawyer-for-a-talent-passport-what-most-applicants-dont-know\/\"><b>talent passport<\/b><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">For parents of a sick child<\/span><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">When the APS expires, the parent can apply for a <b>&#8220;private and family life&#8221; temporary residence permit<\/b> (<b>Article L.425-9 of the CESEDA<\/b>). This permit is renewable for as long as the minor child requires medical care in France and the parent continues to provide for their maintenance and education. It also opens access to work.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">For sick foreign nationals<\/span><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">If your state of health still requires follow-up in France, you can apply for a temporary residence permit for care (Article L.425-9 CESEDA, and Articles R.425-11 to R.425-14). This permit is granted on the opinion of the OFII doctor. It is generally valid for one year and renewable for as long as the care remains necessary. On the other hand, it may be refused if the treatment exists in your country of origin or if your presence constitutes a threat to public order.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">For asylum seekers<\/span><\/h4><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\"><br \/>The APS is only a transitional permit, valid while awaiting the <b>OFPRA<\/b> (French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons) or the <b>CNDA<\/b> (National Court of Asylum) ruling. If your application is accepted, you obtain a <b>residence permit as a refugee<\/b> (valid for 10 years, equivalent to a resident card \u2013 Article L.424-1 CESEDA) or a <b>&#8220;beneficiary of subsidiary protection&#8221; multi-year residence permit<\/b> (valid for 4 years \u2013 Article L.424-9 CESEDA). These statuses open up reinforced rights: access to work, to social protection and to family reunification.<\/span><\/p><h2 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">Difficulties and practical solutions<\/span><\/b><\/h2><h3 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">Frequent mistakes to avoid<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">An APS file may be refused for simple reasons:<\/span><\/p><ul><li>filing too late,<\/li><li>missing or non-compliant documents,<\/li><li>lack of awareness of the deadlines<\/li><\/ul><p>These mistakes are frequent, but they can be prevented by preparing each step with care.<\/p><h3 class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"FR\">How to challenge an APS refusal?<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"FR\">An APS refusal is never inevitable.
