The Dutch healthcare allowance is a contribution to the costs of Dutch national health insurance. OOM Verzekeringen does not offer Dutch national health insurance. You will therefore not receive any Dutch healthcare allowance.

If you receive a residence permit, you must take out Dutch national health insurance with a Dutch healthcare insurance company. Send us an email if this is the case. We will terminate the insurance on the date your residence permit was granted. You will receive a refund of your premium from the commencement date of your Dutch national health insurance.

Please also include:

• a copy of your residence permit
• the bank account number where you would like to receive the refunded premium

You can terminate your insurance earlier if:

• your visa application is rejected
• you receive a Dutch residence permit

We will then refund the premium you have already paid. Send us an email with a request to terminate your insurance. Please also include:

• a copy of your visa rejection letter, your Dutch residence permit or the rejection of a Dutch residence permit
• the bank account number where you would like to receive the refunded premium premium
