Health and accident insurance is mandatory when living in Switzerland. You are therefore required to provide proof of coverage within three months of your arrival. Citizens of the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) who do not wish to subscribe for the Swiss insurance, may obtain an exemption from the insurance obligation by following the procedures listed below.
Make sure that your insurance will cover your expenses in Switzerland and send a copy of your European insurance card to the Geneva cantonal health insurance office (Service de l'assurance maladie) upon obtaining your residence permit.
Several insurance companies offer student insurance at affordable prices. Our Moodle Platform gives information to incoming students about possible companies.
A special session is dedicated to health insurance during Orientation Week, allowing you to ask all the necessary questions.
