What’s more, your contacts can communicate in the language of your choice, coverage ceilings can reach €250,000, and you benefit from worldwide coverage – an advantage not to be overlooked!

Local Chinese Health Insurance :
It is also possible to take out local health insurance in China. However, language barriers can make communication with local insurers difficult, and understanding contract details can be a challenge. What’s more, coverage limits and service levels can vary considerably from one company to another.
However, if you’re going to China for a trip, you can take out our China travel insurance. And if you’re already living in China, or planning to expatriate there, take out our expatriate insurance for China instead, which will cover you much more and provide you with more comprehensive coverage.
Can I be covered by Chinese public health insurance as an international student?
In China, over 95% of the population benefits from public health insurance coverage, but this is mainly aimed at Chinese citizens living in rural areas, Chinese workers and children. What’s more, this insurance leaves part of the medical costs to the patient. As an international student, you will not be eligible for this public health insurance system.
However, you will need to take out international student health insurance to meet the requirements of Chinese universities and obtain a student visa for China. This insurance will provide you with comprehensive coverage of your international health-related expenses and other benefits. The most recommended option for studying in China is Gold Student international student insurance.
Do I need health insurance for my study visa to China?
Among the documents required to apply for a study visa in China, a certificate of insurance is essential. To obtain an international insurance certificate, we recommend that you take out our student insurance. This insurance must cover your entire stay and guarantee that you will be taken care of in the event of illness, emergency or accident during your study period in China. This is the case with our Gold Student contract. Note that, in most cases, international students will need a visa to enter and reside in China for their studies. You should therefore check with the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country, to obtain all the up-to-date information and documents required for your visa application.
How can I be insured as a student in China?
Once you have pre-registered with the Chinese university where you wish to study, you will receive a letter of invitation that will simplify the visa application process. Then simply define the start and end dates of your stay, and contact us by phone, e-mail or WhatsApp for more information on your insurance options.
