If you have no income, the following criterion is considered: which country are you registered in? When registered abroad, you can be insured under the foreign health-care system. When your home country doesn't offer any insurance, we can provide you with several insurance options.
Insurance Options:
- ONVZ Private Health Insurance (Proof of registration with Dutch local council needed)*
- OOM Schengen Visitor (Temporary medical cover)
- Allianz Healthcare
- and other options
In the Netherlands, we take into account whether you are an EU or non-EU national.
