Insurance

If you live in the Netherlands, you are obliged by law to have health insurance. The third party liability insurance cover is strongly recommended, as well as the repatriation insurance cover. Fontys University of Applied Science cannot be held liable if a student/trainee does not have (sufficient) insurance cover. Every student enrolled at Fontys is expected to have fulfilled his/her insurance obligations.

If you do not require a residence permit, you are free to select any student insurance company.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION If you only have a EHIC card, you are not sufficiently insured. EHIC card is only valid for a short period and provides limited cover.

Fontys recommends the international student-minded insurance company InsureToStudy. As a Fontys student you will get a discount! Populair is the Master Plan which covers healthcare (existing conditions are not covered), extraordinary costs, repatriation, liability, accidents, legal aid and baggage & household goods.
