If you will be studying abroad, your health-care plan will continue to apply. This may be different if you are doing an internship or working during your studies.
Internship abroad
If you will be doing an internship abroad, you should find out if you are insured under the Long-term Care Act (Wlz) before you leave. You can apply for an assessment of your Wlz insurance position on the website of the Social Insurance Bank (SVB). Please let us know what your situation is afterwards.
Working during your internship or studies abroad
If you will also be working during your internship or studies abroad, this may affect your health-care plan. Further information is available on the SVB website. You must let us know what your situation is. Please enclose a copy of your employment contract.
Further information about studying or doing an internship abroad is also available on the CAK website (Central Administrative Office for Exceptional Medical Insurance).
