You might receive a letter from the CAK* about your mandatory insurance. You need to take action within 3 months, or you will receive a hefty fine. Even if you incorrectly received the letter from the CAK.

* A government organization responsible for the uninsured regulation. Sends the letters, issues a fine and takes further action to get you insured.

You can only apply for health care benefit (in Dutch: zorgtoeslag) if you are eligible for a Dutch public health insurance via the Dutch Tax Office (in Dutch: Belastingdienst).

Interested in working alongside your studies? Don’t forget to take out Dutch public health insurance. This also applies if you do an internship for which you receive at least Dutch minimum income*. It is important to have Dutch public health insurance on the day you start your job or paid internship. If you fail to do so, you can get a high fine. Refer to the Study in Holland website for more details. If you already have an international student insurance via AON, they can arrange your switch to Dutch public health insurance. If you leave the Netherlands, it is important not to forget to cancel your insurance.

*You can calculate the Dutch minimum income for your age and situation via this online tool (in Dutch).

We highly recommend you taking out an international student insurance policy, as mentioned above. Not all home-country insurance policies offer sufficient coverage for medical costs incurred during your study abroad.  If you do want to use a home-country insurance policy, make sure to check carefully if it covers all the important factors listed above, such as pre-existing medical conditions. Make sure to bring your policy when coming to the Netherlands.

As an EU national* you may be covered for a temporary stay in the Netherlands through your current home country’s health insurance. However, we generally recommend that you also take out an international student policy as described above for the following reasons:

• Some EU countries do not offer coverage if you are studying abroad;
• A limit on the length of time you are covered may be applied;
• The level of coverage might be lower than you anticipate.

 The conditions of coverage are generally not stated on EU health insurance cards, therefore you must check the details with your home country’s insurance scheme well in advance. Remember to request your EU health insurance card (E111) on time and bring it along with you to the Netherlands.

Reimbursements

As an EU health insurance card holder, you can request Zilveren Kruis insurance company for assistance in requesting reimbursements via this form.

*Since 1 January 2021 UK nationals are unfortunately no longer covered by the EU health insurance scheme (E111).

If the above-mentioned factors are not covered by your existing health insurance, then you should take out an international student insurance policy from a Dutch insurer. We highly recommend the ICS Complete+ package from AON. It covers pre-existing conditions, personal liability, household contents, theft, repatriation and legal advice.

Opening a Dutch bank account

If you do not have a SEPA-account in an EU country, we strongly advise you to open a Dutch Bank Account after your arrival to facilitate money withdrawals, buying everyday products, and/or (international) transactions.

To create an account with a Dutch bank, you'll usually need a BSN (social security number), which is granted once you register with your local municipality. However, each bank may have its own set of requirements. The most significant are:

• A valid identity document (for non-EU students/scholars: passport).
• A Dutch address for the duration of your stay.
• A proof of university enrollment.

Please look into your options to see which one is the greatest fit for you. The big three banks in The Netherlands are:

• ABN AMRO
• ING
• Rabobank
