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.

No paperwork, no long waiting times, no visits to the authorities. Just open your blocked account online and you will already have cleared one hurdle on the way to getting your visa – quickly and comfortably.

What is a blocked account?

Of course, there are various forms of blocked accounts. In this section we provide information about the blocked account you probably need if you want to study in Germany and if your home country does not belong to the European Union or the “Schengen states”. Among others, this applies to:

• • Turkey
  • China
  • India

• Russia
• Ukraine
• Cameroon
• Vietnam
• South Corea
• Morocco

In these and many other countries you need to prove your ability to support yourself during your stay in Germany when applying for a visa. The most common method to fulfill this requirement is opening a German blocked account. Please contact the responsible embassy or consulate general if you want to find out whether you need a blocked account for your visa.

What are some of the questions that you should clarify before you decide on an insurance?

Here are some questions that you should clarify before taking out an insurance:

• Does the insurance meet the requirements of the destination country?

You can get information on this e.g. from the responsible embassy or consulate.

• Are the benefits of the health insurance sufficient?

A good health insurance should offer you protection in case of illness and accident and cover medically reasonable return transport. Furthermore, the costs for individual treatments should not be limited and illnesses should not be generally excluded from the insurance cover.

• Is there protection in case of interruption of your work, for example for a holiday?
• Does the insurance also cover sports accidents?
