Insurance

All international students must have health insurance, covering medical expenses incurred as a result of an accident or health problems that arise after the student’s arrival in Cyprus. EU students are strongly advised to acquire a European Health Insurance Card, which gives access to basic health care in EU member states. Those who do not have the European Health Insurance Card are required to have private health insurance.

Instructions:

  1. The insurance company must be notified about any accident within two days of an accident. Doctors’ reports, prescriptions, and receipts must be submitted along with any claim for reimbursement, within 15 days of an accident.
  2. Funds are reimbursed within one month. A claims form can be obtained from the Accounts Office.
  3. Injuries resulting from the practice of hazardous sports (such as diving, racing, mountaineering, skiing, etc.) are not covered.
