Key features

EU citizens (as well as citizens of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) who have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or UK citizens holding a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) are entitled to use it for urgent health care in Czechia free of charge. The students shall register their EHIC/GHIC within any insurance company operating in Czechia upon their arrival. Such registration is also free of charge. It is also highly recommended to have a supplementary travel health insurance. The students shall contract such insurance in their home country before their arrival in Czechia.

As of September 20th, 2021 the Law Concerning the Residence of Foreign Nationals specifies a duty for foreign nationals entering the territory and who will be on it for more than 90 days to conclude travel medical insurance in the scope of comprehensive healthcare with any insurance company authorised to provide it in the Czech Republic. This obligation does not apply to foreign nationals covered by the Czech public health insurance scheme, or whose health care is covered under an international agreement, or who hold a valid EHIC and GHIC health insurance card*. More details are published on the website of the Czech Ministry of Interior.

*As a result of International Treaty on Cooperation in the Area of Health and Social Security, medical travel insurance is not required from citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cuba, Japan, Macedonia, Montenegro, Turkey and Serbia. The same exception applies to participants of the Erasmus+ program, Fulbright scholarship program, European Voluntary Service of the EC Youth in Action program, as well as holders of EHIC or GHIC. The students shall register their EHIC/GHIC or special forms (in case of international agreements) within any insurance company operating in Czechia upon their arrival. Such registration is free of charge. It is also highly recommended to have a supplementary travel health insurance. The students shall contract such insurance in their home country before their arrival in Czechia.

It is each student's responsibility to have a sufficient medical, accident or personal liability and possessions insurance valid for Czechia, before they leave their home country. The School of Business Administration is not responsible for any costs stemming from missing or insufficient insurance. A list of important health care centers located in Karviná and emergency numbers can be found here.
