Important requirement for residence permit
Your first priority after arriving to Germany should be your health insurance. German hospitals, doctors and also medication are very expensive and while emergencies and sickness insurance cover is mandatory for everyone, the insurance cover must also be compliant with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No. 810/2009 (the so called visa codex). German authorities usually ask for a certificate of compliance with these legal requirements.
Our insurance products EXPAT FLEXIBLE , EXPAT PRIVATE and EXPAT VISIT meet and exceed the legal requirements. Thus, foreign nationals and their family members benefit from insurance cover in Germany, worldwide (also in Schengen countries) and can be partly be insured even in their home countries. Even in the case foreign nationals don't need a visa for Germany, they are required to possess insurance cover. Anyone working in Germany has to provide evidence of being covered before starting to work.
BDAE health insurance products are suitable for foreign citizens working as freelancers or entrepreneurs in Germany. We also provide the insurance certificate you need for German authorities.
BDAE offers health insurances for following target groups:
- self-employed construction workers and craftsmen
- self-employed nursing staff
- scientists and tutors
- Employees of foreign public authorities (e.g. tourism boards)
- Freelancers
