Can I use my Malaysian Driving licence in France?
Do you know that we, as students, we can use our Malaysian driving license to drive legally in France? You don’t need to spend hundreds of ringgit just to get an international driving license. But, you must have the translated version of your Malaysian driving license in case you have problems with the police.
And do you know that when you are driving, priority is given to drivers on the main road. But in France, it’s another story in certain area, priority is given to drivers from your right, so if you’re driving straight, you must stop to allow them to enter the main road.

What is "Sécurité Sociale" and how to set up a rendez-vous with a doctor?
Each and every students should possess their own Carte Vitale for reimbursement purposes when they consult a doctor or dentist. By using a Carte Vitale, the Sécurité Sociale will reimburse 60% of the medical expenses, and the rest will be reimbursed by Mutuelle Etudiante. As for JPA, PETRONAS and TELEKOM students, SFERE has subscribed ACS as their mutuelle, which will eventually reimburse the remaining 40%.
Your numéro de sécurité sociale is indicated on your Carte Vitale. The application of the card is made by the person in charge in the first university that he/she enters. The process takes quite long, up to three months. In several cases, there are students who never received their card even though they have been in France more than a year. Please go to your agent to make sure that your application is correctly submitted. For more information regarding Carte Vitale, please consult the Assurance Maladie website.
Note that in most cases, a rendez-vous is a compulsory in order to see a doctor. You may find a list of cabinets médicaux from your university’s infirmary or by searching in the ameli-direct website. Be sure to find a Conventionné doctors in order to have a full reimbursement.
In case of absence or non-functional of the Carte Vitale and you need to see a doctor, do not forget to ask for ‘Feuille de Soin’ which to be submitted to the respective agent for reimbursement purposes.
