International student health insurance Lithuania

Which student health insurance is required for Lithuania student visa ?

Non EU/EEA nationals (third country nationals)

Third countries students are those who’s nationality is non European Union or non European Economic Area country.

Prior arrival in Lithuania, you need to purchase a private health insurance. This insurance must cover the minimum requirement of the European Union and is necessary for obtention of the Student visa in Lithuania.

EU/EEA Nationals

Students with nationality from EU/EEA countries can request in their home country the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Thanks this card, EU/EEA nationals can benefit of the same cover as locals by the National health services.

Attention : The EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It does not cover any travel protection, search and rescue, repatriation to the home country, emergency dental treatments, assistance… A private insurance is highly recommended in Lithuania also for EU/EEA nationals during the entire stay in Lithuania.
