Who needs health insurance in the Czech Republic?
You will need health insurance in the Czech Republic if you are…
- Reuniting with someone who has a residence permit in the Czech Republic
- Planning to work in the Czech Republic

Why is health insurance necessary in the Czech Republic?
First, you need to present your insurance documents to the foreign police. Without this, you cannot obtain a temporary or permanent residence permit in the Czech Republic.
Second, having insurance will help you and your family avoid significant expenses in case of health issues. As you may know, healthcare in the Czech Republic is not free. You can only receive quality medical care by either paying for services yourself or having insurance that covers all your expenses.
In the Czech Republic, as in other EU countries, there are two main types of health insurance: public health insurance and private (commercial) health insurance. Foreigners typically arrange private health insurance, which can only be obtained from a few specially accredited insurance companies in the Czech Republic. A detailed description of the different insurance packages is available on our website, and you can also use the online health insurance calculator to select the best package for your needs.
