Insurance information for Luxembourg

If you are going to study and live in Luxembourg, you want to be fully prepared before starting your adventure. Among other things, you want to make sure your insurance covers everything you need, without paying too much.

Students from EU/EEA countries, who are in possession of valid health insurance in their home country, may use the European Health Insurance Card (see FAQ EHIC). This is a free card that gives you access to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in any of the 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland under the same conditions and at the same cost (free in some countries) as people insured in that country. Please note that EHIC is according to EU recommendations not an alternative for Travel Insurance .EHIC does not guarantee free services. As each country’s healthcare system is different services that cost nothing at home might not be free in another country.

Registration with the CNS by presenting the certificate of registration as well as the European Health Insurance Card (a S1 form as a family member of an insured person is also accepted) certifying entitlement, issued by the institution from the country of origin (application of Regulation CE 883/2004).

Students from outside the EU/EEA; The Luxembourg Social Security Code stipulates in its article 1 under point 14) that persons over 18 years of age who pursue studies in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg or vocational training not indemnified as an apprenticeship, who are not otherwise insured and who cannot be covered as a dependent family member, are compulsorily insured in terms of health insurance

Is this enough?o

It is important to understand that the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) is not always enough, Please note that EHIC is according to EU recommendations not an alternative for Travel Insurance, and that the local offered health insurance will probably not cover:

  • (Additional) medical costs
  • Repatriation
  • Liability
  • Home contents and baggage
  • Accidents
  • Legal aid
  • Worldwide cover

You will need an insurance policy also covering, but also arranging for you, for example:

  • You returning home if a close relative is seriously ill or dies;
  • Up to two close relatives visiting you in if you fall seriously ill;
  • Your medical repatriation to your home country for hospitalization or rehabilitation treatment;
  • or in the worst possible situation, returning a body home for burial.
