Health insurance for international students
Studying in Czechia and need insurance for your visa or residence permit? We compare offers from insurers and advise on what your policy has to cover.
When you will need it
Stays longer than 90 days
Health insurance is submitted with an application for a long-term visa or residence permit.
You are not in Czech public insurance
Students who do not work in Czechia usually fall outside the public system.
You need proof for the authorities
We send the policy and proof of payment by e-mail, usually in English as well.
What students should watch out for
Length follows your stay, not the semester
The policy should cover the whole period you are applying for, not just the academic year.
Confirmation of study
Some insurers offer students a lower rate. Keep the confirmation at hand — it may save you money.
Extending your stay
When you extend, insurance for the following period is submitted too. Get in touch with us in good time.
Scope of cover
Long-term stays usually call for comprehensive cover, not only urgent and emergency care.
