Health and Liability Insurance
GSI/FAIR is obligated to ensure that all guests (with guest agreements) are properly insured.
General information on Health Insurance
Your health insurance should meet the following requirements:
- Is valid in Germany during the time of your stay
- Covers unlimited costs for necessary medical treatment. When you have a SchengenVisa the limit of 30K is sufficient
- The certificate should be issued in an international format (such that we can understand whom, is insured when for what)
- The certificate should be issued no longer than 6 months ago
If your insurance does not meet all those requirements you will have to take out an additional health insurance.
