Health Insurance for International Students & Interns in Europe
SwissCare Insurance for Study, Internship & Erasmus+ Programs (Excluding Spain)
SwissCare by Spain Internship for Europe
Why Health Insurance is Essential for Your Stay in Europe
When planning to live, study, or intern in Europe, having adequate health insurance is not just an option — it’s a legal requirement for most non-EU students and increasingly for Erasmus+ participants. Whether you are applying for a student visa, participating in an internship, or embarking on an Erasmus+ mobility program, your health insurance must comply with local regulations and visa requirements.
Health insurance ensures that you have access to quality healthcare in the event of illness, injury, or emergency. It also provides peace of mind for both students and their families while staying abroad. Additionally, many European embassies and consulates require proof of valid health insurance as part of the visa application process. This coverage not only protects your health but also helps you meet visa requirements, ensuring your stay remains smooth and worry-free.
That’s why we partner with SwissCare, a leader in European health coverage, to offer you affordable, reliable, and visa-compliant health insurance that covers your entire stay.

Health Insurance for Your Spanish VISA in European Countries (excluding Spain)
Even though this page focuses on European countries excluding Spain, it’s important to note that Spanish student visas and internships require specific insurance coverage, which is why we’ve made it easy for you to access both SwissCare and ASISA insurance.
If you are traveling to Spain, make sure to visit our dedicated ASISA page to ensure you have the correct insurance for your Spanish student visa and internship.
For other European destinations, SwissCare is the ideal option because:
Pan-European coverage: SwissCare provides protection across all EU countries and several non-EU European destinations, including Switzerland, Norway, and the UK.
Erasmus+ and mobility programs: If you are part of an Erasmus+ exchange, SwissCare is Erasmus-compliant, meaning it meets all program requirements for health insurance.
