We recommend that you take a liability insurance, an accident insurance, and a house contents insurance (theft) since your private belongings are not covered by the school insurance.

Health insurance for EU-citizens:
You should obtain the blue EU health insurance card – it is free of charge.

Health insurance for Non EU-citizens:
You should take a health insurance to cover you in case of illness during the first approx. 10 weeks of your stay in Denmark. When you have received your ST1 residence permit, you register at the city council in Vejle, where you can get a CPR number (a personal identity number in Denmark). Afterwards a health insurance card (the yellow card) will be issued, and you will be covered by the Danish health insurance.
