Are you planning on starting a new life in Germany or staying in your home country?

It is understandable if your home country doesn’t meet your expectations and you want to explore and live in a country that offers you plenty of opportunities to grow as a person and to grow your career.

What is some important information interns should know about?

Information for interns – Our recommendation! The PROTRIP-WORLD insurance for interns adapts to your travel plans. You have the choice between different travel regions and you can also flexibly choose the scope of insurance: PROTRIP-WORLD always includes a strong international health insurance. We especially recommend interns to supplement their insurance cover with the Comfort or Plus Package to be able to travel and work without worries. The two packages differ in the scope of the liability insurance. The Plus Package offers students and Erasmus Plus participants particularly good protection. It includes, among other things, higher benefits in the event of damage caused by internships as part of a study or Erasmus Plus program.

Will you get quality and good service from the TK Student Insurance provider?

With TK student insurance you profit from a wide range of benefits at low premiums. TK student insurance does not only include the benefits you are usually offered by German health insurance providers. It also covers treatments which do not belong to the standard benefits. When evaluated by the trade press, TK regularly occupies top positions, e.g. in the category “Germany’s best health insurance fund for students” (according to Focus Money). Moreover, TK has an excellent customer service. All important matters, such as changing your address or your account details, can be easily attended to online. Billing with doctors and hospitals is easy, too: You only need to present your insurance card every time you visit a doctor.

Are your plans to work abroad as an au pair?

In this case you should at least buy the Comfort Package. Liability claims within the scope of the au pair activity are insured up to 1 million Euro. This coverage is also valid for language students who live with families with children and carry out similar activities as au pairs. However, we recommend the conclusion of the Plus Package, because it covers additional claims which can occur within the scope of an au pair activity. The key loss risk as well as damage to the host family’s property are examples of this.

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.
