Insurance

Before you come to the Netherlands, you should inquire whether your current health insurance will suffice in the Netherlands or if you need supplementary cover.
For all information about health insurance in the Netherlands, see the following PDF-file.

Letter from CVZ

There is a chance that you will receive a letter from the College van Zorgverzekering. This letter will be in Dutch only, and states that you must take out health insurance immediately.

Usually you will not need to take out health insurance, although in some circumstances you will. In either case, you must respond to this letter, or else you will be fined €350. Information about what you have to do can be found in the following document.

If you are insured with your own company for your stay in the Netherlands, take a proof with you that you are.
