Due to the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation, many students from Ukraine were forced to go abroad to continue their education. Many Ukrainians are now studying in Poland. Students need health insurance to study in this country.. Channel 24 told how to get medical insurance for students from Ukraine.

How to get insurance for Ukrainian students in Poland.

Polish students of local universities are provided with medical insurance automatically, but Ukrainians should take care of the policy themselves.

To have insurance, you need to conclude an agreement with Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia (NFZ). Only after that they will be able to pay monthly premiums on their own and be listed as insured persons..

Foreigners with a Pole's Card can register in the NFZ free of charge. In this case, the monthly contributions to the Fund for the student will be paid by his educational institution.. Such insurance covers most types of medical services and gives the right to visit public medical institutions throughout the country..

Auto insurance is charged to students in Poland only up to a certain age - up to 26 years.

After 26 students may have another source of insurance. For example, from an employer or a working wife/husband.

Insurance while studying in Poland is mandatory. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there are no too long breaks in the payment of contributions.. If a student misses more than three months, he will have to pay overdue fees and interest.
