Insurance
Here you can read about student insurance and you also find information about household insurance.
As an international student, you might be covered by an insurance through the university. Your insurance depends on if you are a fee-paying student, exchange student or EU/EEA student. Please read the information below depending on what type of student you are.
Fee-paying students
Fee-paying students are covered by the FAS insurance (on the condition that you have paid your tuition fee for the semester). This insurance is issued under the authority of Kammarkollegiet and it is backed by the full faith and credit of the Swedish government. Terms and conditions can be found at Kammarkollegiet's website.
The FAS insurance is valid two weeks before the start of the semester and two weeks after the end of the semester.
EU/EEA students
Citizens of EU/EEA countries or Switzerland should register for a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) in their home country before coming to Sweden. This card gives the student right to medical care at the same cost as Swedes.
Exchange students
Exchange students are covered by the Student IN insurance. This insurance is issued under the authority of Kammarkollegiet and it is backed by the full faith and credit of the Swedish government. Terms and conditions can be found at Kammarkollegiet's website.
The Student IN insurance is valid two weeks before the start of the semester and two weeks after the end of the semester.
Home insurance
If you are also interested in having a home insurance, make sure to purchase one in your home country before you leave.
