Mandatory coverage for enrollment, visa applications, and everyday care.
Health insurance is mandatory for all international students in Germany. Without valid health insurance, you cannot enroll at a university or apply for a student visa.
Choosing the right insurance can be confusing, especially for new students. To make this easier, we've partnered with trusted providers to help you compare and select the best option based on your profile.
Public health insurance
Private / expat insurance
Choose public insurance if you are enrolling in a German university long-term. Choose private or expat insurance if you are applying for a visa or need short-term coverage.
