Private insurance for TU Delft guest researchers, visitors as well for graduated TU Delft students trying to find a job in the Netherlands (in so-called “search year”)

When you apply, please fill in your current address, your address in country of origin. In the case, you already know your address in the Netherlands, you can fill it in on the form. When you don’t know your address in the Netherlands yet, you can inform us about this after arriving in the Netherlands. At the moment you apply, we will ask you to pay the premium for the first months. Therefore it is better to apply when you know for sure you will fly to the Netherlands.

As these insurances are special for TU Delft guests, visitors, excisting illnesses are included.

Medical costs after getting the coronavirus are also included. As the coronavirus is qualified from the WHO (World Health Organisation) as an epidemic and pandemic, other insurance companies may exclude medical costst in case of an epidemic and pandemic. In that case there is no coverage for medical costs after getting the coronavavirus. Please be aware of this!

After applying for our student insurance you will receive an automatic confirmation by email from Insure To Study. This confirmation will also contain a temporay policy (‘Pre-polis’). If you didn’t receive it, please check your spam folder.

You will receive the original policy and all relevant documents by email within 2 working days.
After arriving in the Netherlands, and we know, your Dutch address, we will send you everything (including the insurance card) via regular mail.

TU Delft students please visit www.sgzstudent.nl. ‘SGZ student’ and your student insurance company ‘Insure to Study’ are working closely together. Upon presentation of your insurance card, which you will receive after you applied for the student insurance, SGZ will send your invoice directly to the insurance company.

It goes without saying you can see a GP of your choice. Perform a Google search: huisarts, streetname, city.
Your search result will list all general practitioners in your area. It is not uncommon the GP will bill you during your visit. It is customary to pay upfront and get reimbursed afterwards by the insurance company.

You can also visit the following website with information about the general practitioners in Delft:
https://www.zorgkaartnederland.nl/huisarts/delft

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.

In the Netherlands, you can’t go directly to the hospital. In case of a real emergency the emergency number is 112.

Also please see the question “Who can I contact in the evening, night or weekend when the general practitioner is not available?”

When you feel sick during your GP’s of duty hours you can call him/she to get the details of an on-duty GP service. In every city there is a GP service website/phone number you can call. During a brief telephone interview the GP service will determine if it is necessary for you to visit the GP service (called huisartsenpost).

For Delft for example: huisartsenpost Delft.

When you work for Flex Delft, for example as a teaching assistant, you always have to change to the Dutch basic health insurance. Even when you work only a few hours in the month. The Dutch basic health insurance has to start from the moment your employment contract starts.
Even if you are in a part-time job besides your study, for example when you work in a restaurant or shop, you need to change your insurance.
