In Germany, all students up to the age of 30 are subject to compulsory health insurance (approximately € 106 monthly). If you are from a country that has concluded a bilateral social security agreement with Germany and if you have sufficient health insurance coverage in your home country, you will be exempted from the obligation of insuring yourself with a statutory health insurance scheme for the duration of your course of study in Germany. In order to get exemption, you must bring and submit your EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) or other proof of health insurance in your own country (in English or German), within three months of your arrival or you will lose the right to matriculate.
