AON Student Insurance

International degree-seeking and exchange students who are not entitled to Dutch public health insurance and are not eligible for EHIC are required to arrange private health insurance during their stay in the Netherlands. AON Student Insurance provides you with basic health insurance in case of any medical bills, including (worsening of) pre-existing medical and psychological conditions and dental emergencies. In addition, it covers any costs of repatriation, liability, accidents, luggage and/or home contents and legal assistance.

International students who already have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or a Dutch Basic Health Insurance are also advised to arrange additional insurances such as liability and accident coverage. AON Student Insurance provides this additional insurance at a reduced premium.

At the bottom of this page you can download a brochure with extra information on what is not covered by the EHIC  insurance.

Take out AON Student Insurance

 

AON Student Insurance for students needing a Dutch Residence permit

The Student Admissions Visa Team will arrange the AON insurance for the first year of study of all international students who need a residence permit to study in the Netherlands. For students who receive a scholarship or grant from Radboud University that covers insurance, the Student Admissions Visa Team will arrange the AON insurance for the duration of the scholarship or grant.

Information for students living in Germany while studying at Radboud University

Students residing accross the border in Germany can also apply for an AON insurance via the website. You will have to indicate that you live just accross the border in Germany. It might be the case that you will have to answer some extra questions. 

Important for exchange students

Please note that since 15 April 2025 there has been a change in policy conditions for Exchange students: only worsening of pre-existing conditions is covered. 
If your medical or psychological condition worsens during your stay in the Netherlands, then it will be covered by the insurance. So pre-existing conditions that are stable during your stay in the Netherlands are not covered.
We therefore strongly advise exchange students who need medication during their stay in the Netherlands due to existing medical conditions, to check in their home country if and how they can take medication with them to the Netherlands or whether they can buy it in the Netherlands and what the costs may be (as costs for pre-existing medical conditions are not covered).  

Unsure about your situation?

For those who are unsure which type of (health) insurance they require, please refer to our insurance guide and see which statement corresponds with your personal conditions.
