HEALTH INSURANCE
All Erasmus+ incoming students should have health insurance covering the period of their planned mobilty.
It can be either a private insurance policy obtained in their country of origin or in Poland.
- Students from the EU/EFTA countries
If you are insured in one of the EU or EFTA states and your stay in Poland is related to studying you are entitled to treatment in Poland.

The scope of treatment accessible with EHIC is limited. You are entitled only to treatment:

- within the public healthcare system
- performed on the same conditions as for the Polish citizens

Students from the EU/EFTA countries who do NOT hold valid medical insurance in the national insurance system of their country should follow the guidelines for the students from outside the EU/EFTA.
- Students from outside the EU/EFTA
Students from non-EU/EFTA countries should purchase health insurance before arriving in Poland. The policy must be valid for the entire duration of their stay. The policy can be issued by any insurance company.
