Students from non-EU countries (so-called "third country nationals") are obliged to have comprehensive health insurance for the entire duration of their stay in Czechia. Such commercial insurance must meet the requirements of Act No. 326/1999 Coll., on the Residence of Foreign Nationals in the Territory of the Czech Republic.
Charles University offers to its international students a tailored product to ease the insurance process and provide high-quality, reliable health care coverage. All that with a student discount and extra benefits. There are two options our admitted applicants and students can choose from, available via our partners Pojišt'ovna VZP, a.s. (PVZP) and Slavia pojišťovna, a.s..
Students from EU member countries are obliged to register with an auxiliary health insurance company after their arrival to Czechia. Thanks to this supplementary contract, all their medical expenses can be reimbursed by their home insurance retrospectively.
The Foreigners Comprehensive Medical Insurance EXCLUSIVE meets all legal requirements and even offers an extended range of services covering emergency care in the entire Schengen area. It is the first commercial medical insurance for foreigners that is completely identical in its scope to public medical insurance in the Czech Republic. The insurance covers even pre-existing conditions, provided they are disclosed at the time of the arrangement (conditions apply).
