The administration usually requires a reception certificate for a prolonged stay of a foreigner. The terms and conditions vary depending on the nationality, country, and length of stay of the person being hosted.
In our example, a Cambodian international student comes to study in France to validate a visa request. The association director agreed to write him a letter of welcome to allow him to go to France.
It’s advisable to indicate in the document that all the expenses of the welcomed person will be taken in charge to obtain a positive answer from the administration.
Purchase of an insurance policy is recommended. It must cover all medical and hospital expenses, including social assistance and the entire duration of the stay of the hosted foreigner. It’s also recommended to include proof of residence of the host person (electricity, water, telecommunications bill, rent receipt, insurance certificate, tax notice, or property tax).
Below is an example of a certificate of reception that can be personalized to any other situation:
