Foreigner health insurance: the right policy for residence

How to choose health insurance accepted for residence applications and where it is valid.

Published:

Short-term, family and student residence applications require health insurance that covers the stay. If the policy is shorter than the residence period you apply for, the application may be considered incomplete.

Choosing a policy

The policy must be a type accepted for residence, cover the full residence period and suit your age. The price depends on age and duration.

Where is it valid?

Each insurer has its own list of partner hospitals, clinics and pharmacies. Customers insured through us can reach the insurers' official lists from our Partner Hospitals page.

If you have a work permit

Foreigners working with a permit and registered with SGK are covered by general health insurance. We review together whether you still need private insurance for your application.

This article is general information. Rules can change; ask us or YİMER 157 about the current situation before you apply.
