Health insurance for foreigners

A residence condition: either public insurance (employee, sole trader) or commercial insurance for the period of stay. Insurance must be taken out within 3 working days of receiving the residence card and proof submitted to the police within 30 days; for employment and study, public insurance arises automatically.

Explanations are simplified and not legal advice. Deadlines and fees change; we confirm current conditions for your situation in the quiz.
