Before you act: This guide is informational. Official immigration rules, insurer terms and coverage eligibility may change. Verify current details with the relevant Czech authority and the insurer.
GUIDE 1 / 3
EU/EEA/Swiss exchange students
An EHIC can help you access medically necessary state-provided care during a temporary stay, subject to applicable rules.
It does not necessarily cover private care, all costs or repatriation, so check whether your school recommends additional coverage.
Check any specific university or exchange programme insurance requirements.
GUIDE 2 / 3
Exchange students from outside the EU
Citizenship, visa status and residence arrangements may make private comprehensive health insurance necessary.
Confirm your embassy's requirements and verify that coverage begins when needed.
Never assume one exchange-student product suits every nationality or course length.
GUIDE 3 / 3
Before the semester starts
Carry accessible proof of your insurance, know how to reach assistance, and ask your university's international office about local registration.
Compare contract terms including medical care, exclusions and the territorial scope.
Use our university guides and the insurer's official application for next steps.
