No Income

If you have no income, the following criterion is considered: which country are you registered in? When registered abroad, you can be insured under the foreign health-care system. When your home country doesn't offer any insurance, we can provide you with several insurance options.

In the Netherlands, we take into account whether you are an EU or non-EU national.

EU nationals in the Netherlands

You are required to take out a Basisverzekering basic health-care plan as of the date of your registration in the Netherlands. If you registered before 1 January 2006, you must be insured from 1 January 2006 onwards. Documents required to apply for a Basisverzekering plan:

  • Basisverzekering application form.
  • Proof of registration with a Dutch local council (if you emigrate to the Netherlands).
  • Copy of passport.

It is possible to apply for the ONVZ private health-care plan via medical selection up to the date when you are issued a residence permit: you can apply for ONVZ Health and all supplementary international health-care plans. Registration with a Dutch local council is required.
