Health insurance
Insurance conditions for Exchange Students
Students admitted within an exchange agreement at HiG are covered by a collective health insurance financed by the institute. The terms for the insurance are available on the website of Kammarkollegiet (The Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency). Kammarkollegiet
Health insurance for Nordic, EU/EEA citizens and Switzerland. If you are a citizen of any of the Nordic, EU/EEA countries or Switzerland, you have access to essential health care if you register beforehand at a social insurance office in your home country and obtain a European Health Insurance card.
Health insurance for non-EU/EEA citizens: stays of one year or more. As a visiting student, if you have a residence permit valid for one year or more, you are entitled to the same health benefits as Swedes. However, you are obligated to national registration at our local tax office in Gävle as soon as you arrive. Here you will be given a Swedish civic registration number. Detailed information is available on Tax office´s website. Skatteverket
Health insurance for non-EU/EEA citizens: stays of less than one year. If you have a residence permit valid for a period of less than a year, you are not able to register at a the local Tax office, and you do not have automatic access to health care. Usually students accepted to programs less than one year are required to have a valid health insurance from their home country in order to be granted a residence permit in Sweden.
