Insurance and health care
All foreigners are obliged to have a valid medical travel insurance for the whole stay at our university.
Students have to present the confirmation of the medical travel insurance before the registration in the International Office and at the study department of the appropriate faculty.
EU citizens
EU citizens staying in the Czech Republic longer than 90 days will present the European Health Insurance Card.
After their arrival they have to register at the health insurance company called Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna (Mírové náměstí 35/C, Ústí nad Labem, office hours Monday and Wednesday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., and Friday 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.).
Important notice
The European Health Insurance Card + registration does not cover all health insurance expences which you might have during your study stay (such as PCR tests, etc), so we recommend to insure yourself for the whole length of your study stay with some other (f.e. travel) insurance.
