Health Insurance
Medical insurance is obligatory for all foreign students.
European Students
To be eligible for public medical services during your stay in Poland, it is necessary to bring your European Health Insurance Card.
Non-European Students
You must enquire in your country what type of insurance will be the best one during your stay in Poland. The most comfortable option will be the insurance, which will allow you to get a refund for medical treatment. Please, make sure to settle the insurance matters. It is very important, and it will protect you from incurring additional costs. If you do not have insurance, you will have to pay for a medical appointment – approximately PLN 200-300 (or more for consulting a specialist).
