Health Insurance

Health Insurance

Either a national or private insurance is accepted. Your insurance should be valid in Poland so that you may seek medical assistance whilst in Poland. EU/EEA/ Swiss nationals covered by a statutory social security scheme may apply for EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) which is issued free of charge.

Non-EU candidates should provide a copy of their insurance signed with a private/ State company. Such document, proving a scope of medical treatment coverage, should be written (or sworn translated to) Polish or English.

Alternatively, a non-EU candidate may submit a written statement saying that he/she obliges to purchase an insurance upon arrival to Poland.
