Health insurance for foreign students in Italy

Yes. It meets the requirements set by Italian consulates for the long-stay (D) student visa: minimum €30,000 coverage, inpatient and outpatient care, emergency treatment, and repatriation. Valid across Italy and the Schengen Area.

Yes. Your certificate is issued in English and Italian and is accepted by the Questura for your initial permesso application and for renewals.

Right away. You can download your certificate immediately after sign-up and bring it to your consulate or Questura appointment the same day.

You choose the start date. Most students set it to their arrival date in Italy or the day their visa becomes valid — you don't need coverage to begin the day you sign up.

Inpatient and outpatient care, emergency treatment, hospitalisation, repatriation, mental health support, and limited dental for pain relief or accidents. Full details are in the coverage table above.
