Unfortunately, not everyone can join one of the public health insurances in Germany. The following groups are not eligible:
- Guest scientists
- Post-graduate students
- Language students or those attending pre-study colleges
- Students studying at universities that are not recognized by the German state
- Students above the age of 30 years
- Students who already completed 14 semesters or more at a university
If you are one of the above, you can not join the Public Health Insurance system.
However, you can apply for Private Health Insurance from DR-WALTER and receive their Travel/Incoming Insurance as a part of Expatrio's Health Insurance Plus package or Value Package. This insurance will be also sufficient for the visa process and it will cover you during your stay in Germany.
