Whenever you receive income from a Dutch source and therefore pay social premiums, you are obligated to have a Dutch basic health insurance. The TU Delft offers you a range of basic and additional insurances with a high discount and excellent conditions through insurance advisor International Insurances. Please be advised by International Insurances, because it is not allowed to change your insurance for a whole year.

 

Are you coming to the Netherlands before the starting date of your working contract? Then we advise you to get a travel insurance. Scroll further down for more information. Also if you are accompanied by family members or when they join you later.

When do you need a temporary health insurance?

Are you going to receive income in the Netherlands? Then you are obligated to have a Dutch basic health insurance. The lawful starting date of your insurance is the same date as the starting date of your working contract.

Accompanying family members should be registered for an insurance per the date they are registered with the municipality.

 

Are you coming to the Netherlands before the starting date of your working contract? Then we advise you to get a travel insurance. You can do this in your home country, or International Insurances can help you. You don’t have to pay for this insurance in advance, you can pay when you have arrived in the Netherlands.

 

Are you from Europe and have an EHIC, which is still valid and active? Then a temporary health insurance is not necessary.

 

To apply for temporary health insurance please contact us.

Almost every person who lives and works in the Netherlands is legally obliged to have a public health insurance (basic health insurance – “basisverzekering’’).

 

Are you accompanied by family members?
Their public health insurance will start per the date they are registered with the municipality (when they have their BSN and residence permit). It is customary this process takes some time.

Frequently asked questions

I feel sick (nausea). What do I do? Who do I call or see?

In the Netherlands the first one to see, when you don’t feel well is a general practitioner (GP). He/she will advise you on what to do, look for the cause and suggest treatments. You need a referral from a general practitioner for medicines, a medical test or to see a specialist in the hospital.
