Establish Mandatory Health Insurance in Hungary
Maintaining active health coverage is a non-negotiable statutory requirement to keep your legal student residence status in Hungary.
- State Scholarship Students: Recipients of state-sponsored scholarships (such as Stipendium Hungaricum) are entitled to the public health insurance scheme, known as the TAJ Card, managed directly by the National Health Insurance Fund (NEAK).
- Self-funded Students (EU & Non-EU): If you do not hold a state scholarship, you must purchase a comprehensive private health insurance policy that covers emergency medical care, accidents, and repatriation valid for the entire territory of Hungary before or immediately upon arrival.
