It is strongly advisable to arrange a private health care service before arrival.
Citizens of countries that are not part of the European Economic Area and that do not have bilateral agreements with Hungary on the provision of health care have to pay full price for the health care services performed in Hungary.
All international students are required to insure themselves in their home country before arrival. Valid health insurance for the duration of your stay in Hungary is obligatory (if your health insurance card does not specifically state that it is valid for EU member states or that it is valid specifically for Hungary, please ask your insurance company to supply you with an official letter to this effect as the Hungarian Immigration Authorities may need this statement upon your arrival to Budapest). The health insurance must provide full coverage; emergency health insurance will not be accepted.
In case you want to have Hungarian private health insurance, you will manage it individually. However, if you need help, we can offer you a possibility.

If you write, please mention that you’re a student at our university for a discount.
