Please see the EHIC website for information on how to get the card in your country.
Students from non EU countries
The participants themselves are responsible for the insurance costs from the grant received for the realization of the mobility activity, if not covered by other means.
Health Insurance Coverage [Mandatory for studies and traineeships]
Basic health insurance coverage might be provided by the national health insurance of the student during his/her stay in another country. However, the coverage of the basic health Insurance or private insurance may not be sufficient, especially in case of repatriation and specific medical intervention.
