Will you have to conclude public health insurance as a student?

Students up to age 29 need to have public health insurance during their subject-related studies. We recommend Techniker Krankenkasse (TK). If you have not started your subject-related studies yet, you cannot take out public student health insurance. This is also not possible for students from the age of 30. In these cases the private health insurance EDUCARE24 is the ideal insurance solution.

Which is the right visa for you if you want to travel in Germany?

If your only purpose of visiting Germany is to travel around then we recommend you apply for a Tourist and Visitor Visa. This Visa is great for people who are only interested in visiting Germany for a short period of time. To either go sight-seeing or maybe visit family/friends.

What is the visa that you need to travel to Germany if you do not live in the EU?

If you’re not from one of the EU countries, then unfortunately you need to apply for a German Visa in order to be able to travel there. The good thing is, around 62 countries can enter Germany without a Visa, so we suggest you check if your country is on the list!

Fever, cough, signs of corona infection? You can rest assured. With EDUCARE24’s insurance cover, you don’t need to fear high medical costs. The medical treatment of the corona virus infection is covered. In addition, EDUCARE24 includes coverage up to 90 days for medical expenses should you be forced to stay abroad for a longer period of time due to the infection.

Will quarantine costs be covered by the foreign health insurance?

Quarantine costs are not covered by the foreign health insurance. Quarantine is often prescribed as a precautionary measure. This is not a medically necessary treatment. If you fall ill with the coronavirus during quarantine, the treatment is of course insured.

Do you have to transfer the amount in one large sum?

Yes, please transfer the amount in one lump sum in order to make sure that we can send you the confirmation of the account opening on the next day at the latest.
