Danish International Student Health Insurance Requirements

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Denmark has become a popular international study destination for students from European countries including the United Kingdom, Norway, Germany…… and now from Asia, with a large number of Chinese students. Denmark is a popular destination for students to study for a number of reasons, including modern teaching styles, English familiarity and high academic standards.

One additional reason Denmark is popular with international students – free health insurance!

Well, almost free – as an international student in Denmark, if you get a residence permit and register with the municipal registration office upon your arrival, you will be covered by the Danish national health care within approximately 6-8 weeks.

Therefore, it is advisable to purchase a travel medical health insurance policy for at least the first 8 weeks of your stay, when you will not yet be covered by Danish national health insurance. In addition, you may want to consider purchasing a private plan for the duration of your stay which could provide coverage such as emergency evacuation and repatriation coverage, to cover you on the trip to and from Denmark and any other trips, and for the additional protections a private plan provides.

If you are considering purchasing a travel health insurance plan, or a private insurance plan to cover you in Denmark or abroad, we can offer a range of plans to suit all needs. Please do not hesitate to contact our support team who will be more than happy to assist you.

 

Insurance Visa Letter

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

For some countries around the world, you will need to show proof of adequate international health and travel insurance as part of your visa application process. Countries that are popular for this requirement include France, Spain and the Schengen Visa – there are many more that require it but these are just the most popular destinations that require insurance coverage.

As part of this requirement, you will generally need to produce what they call a “Visa Letter” that outlines what the plan coverage is, confirms the insured is covered and provide other information about the plan that you have purchased.

To make your life easier, we produce a visa letter for all our clients and make it available for them 24 hours a day through the client zone. All you need to do is once you have applied for insurance coverage you will need to log into the client zone, and then click on the visa letter link. This will then provide you with a PDF version of the visa letter which is pre-filled with all your information and produced on company letterhead.

You will just need to download this, print it off and submit it with your visa application.
