Insurance, Tricare Overseas.

2 years ago

We will be enrolling in US military Tricare Overseas. I need to establish primary, English speaking. I’m hoping others have this insurance and can point me in the right direction.

When getting to France, is it best to grab a burner phone, to start. One phone has international capabilities, and I need a French SIM CARD.

How to get a French bank account, or which do you prefer? Need that for cell,phone and other, of course.

What challenges did you face before you got there, in in planning. I’m 5-6 months out. In French website for long term visa, it does not say a requirement of backround check, or medical exam. I read in blogs people got held up not knowing that. Other countries ask for it. We are doing it, but looking for confirmation. Thanks. Is it worth it to get and immigration lawyer in this time of Covid.
