How do I choose student insurance for Singapore?
Can I benefit from Singapore's public health insurance system as an international student?
Singapore is renowned for its high-quality healthcare system, but there is no universal public health insurance. The healthcare system is mainly financed through personal and employer contributions, but there are government subsidies to help reduce costs for certain categories of residents.
As a foreign student in Singapore, you will not be eligible for these coverages. To obtain a study visa for Singapore, you will need to provide proof of student health insurance. International students must therefore take out private health insurance before their departure, in order to obtain their visa, gain admission to a school and benefit from medical care without incurring considerable expenses.

Health insurance for foreign students in Singapore
Singaporean insurers offer health insurance options for international students, with coverage for medical care and emergencies. Note that the premiums associated with these policies are among the highest. When you study in Singapore, take into account the country’s high cost of living, which means you’ll have many expenses to manage.
To reduce the financial burden, we advise you not to allocate a separate budget for healthcare, but rather to opt for health insurance for international students. A solution like GoldStudent can be particularly advantageous.

International student insurance is a requirement for students wishing to obtain a “Student Pass” for their studies in Singapore. This condition is designed to ensure that these students have the means to cover their health expenses during their stay in the country, a requirement that also applies to obtaining a visa.
Depending on the educational institution in Singapore you will be attending, the specific criteria for medical coverage may vary. Goldstudent health insurance can be perfectly adapted to your needs.
