Health insurance for TRP holders

Students with a Temporary residence permit (TRP) in Lithuania are not covered by compulsory health insurance ("Privalomas sveikatos draudimas (PSD)") at the state's expense. Students are responsible to have health insurance throughout the entire timeframe of their studies at the VDA.

International students holding EU citizenship are covered by basic health insurance, which may cover only basic emergency services, but do not guarantee free services by medical treatment. Hence, besides the European health insurance card (EHIC), it is reccommended that you acquire additional health insurance.

International students holding non-EU citizenship are not covered by compulsory health insurance and need to purchase it either in their home country or aborad like Lithuania. Who are registered at the Migration department and who have been issued a document confirming registration (certificate) with the code of a foreigner with interests in Lithuania (ILTU) and the electronic health history (ESI) number, health care services are provided according to the ESI number.
