Which student health insurance is required for Cyprus student visa ?

 

Health insurance in Cyprus is mandatory during the whole duration of studies.
 

Non EU/EEA nationals (third country nationals)
 

Third countries students are those who’s nationality is non European Union or non European Economic Area country.
 

Students from Non EU countries and who not have permanent residency in Cyprus, must purchase from their own a health and assistance insurance before arrival in Cyprus.
 

An international health and assistance insurance is recommended and provide the following benefits :

 

1. Valid for obtaining the travel visa to Cyprus

2. Cover emergency medical costs in Cyprus and worldwide (excluding USA/Canada)

3. Cover all assistance benefits necessary during studies in Cyprus :

 

  • Emergency medical benefits (sickness and accident)
  • Repatriation to your home country
  • Ambulance by air, sea and ground
  • Search and rescue
  • Accidental death and disability benefits
  • Third party liability insurance

 

EU/EEA Nationals
 

Students with nationality from EU/EEA countries can request in their home country the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Thanks this card, EU/EEA nationals can benefit of the same cover as locals by the National health services.
 

Attention : The EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It does not cover any travel protection, search and rescue, repatriation to the home country, emergency dental treatments, assistance… A private insurance is highly recommended in Cyprus also for EU/EEA nationals during the entire stay in Cyprus.
