Insurances

International students only

Please check before you come to the Netherlands whether your insurance will cover the complete period of your stay abroad, and what type of coverage it consists of.

Insurance is mandatory

You are required by law to have appropriate health insurance for the duration of your stay in the Netherlands.

You are also advised to take out an appropriate general third-party insurance (liability insurance). For non-EEA/EU students requesting a residence permit through the UvA, liability insurance is mandatory.
