Health insurance and emigration: how does it work?

Can you keep your Dutch national health insurance, or do you need health insurance when emigrating? This depends on your personal situation and, for example, if you’ll be working abroad or not. In addition, different rules sometimes apply to your family members than to yourself. You can look all this information up on the website of your Dutch health insurer.

For example, if your emigration is not covered by Dutch national health insurance, you can still have extensive insurance for healthcare costs with the OOM Living Abroad Insurance. The health insurance for when you’re emigrating can also be a supplement if you’re emigrating to a country where medical care is expensive. That’s because your Dutch national health insurance never reimburses more than what you would receive in the Netherlands.
