Good to know
Is this the right product for a long study period?
Usually not. This product is positioned for short stays and visa applications. Students staying longer should check the student health insurance option instead.
Can I use it after I start working in the Netherlands?
No, not as a substitute for Dutch basic health insurance if Dutch law requires you to hold it.
