PVZP’s monopoly on comprehensive health insurance abolished

Following the amendment to the Act on the Residence of Foreigners, residents of third countries in the Czech Republic no longer have to take out compulsory liability insurance with the Pojišťovny VZP (PVZP), but can now take out insurance with any commercial insurance providers.

The amendment, which has already entered into force, allows foreigners to terminate their contract with the Pojišťovny VZP (PVZP), a subsidiary of the General Health Insurance Company (VZP), within three months. Please note, that if you decide to terminate your insurance with the PVZP, you must conclude a contract with another private insurance provider.
