We recommend international students in Germany or German students abroad to take out the MAWISTA Student tariff. Here, you’ll get insurance protection tailored to the needs of academics with a flexible contract term and lots of extras at an excellent price-performance ratio. This will give you the best possible financial freedom and enable you to focus on your studies.
International students in Germany can also take out a statutory health insurance plan. With MAWISTA GKV, you can choose between two leading statutory health insurance providers.

Further information
If you come from a country where you need a visa to enter Germany, you will also need valid health insurance to enter the country. The MAWISTA Visum tariff is particularly suitable in these circumstances. This tariff meets the requirements for visa application and is recognised by all immigration authorities. In addition, it offers flexibility in terms of entry date as you are insured from the day of entry for up to 183 days.
Once you have arrived in Germany, we recommend switching to a MAWISTA student tariff for the duration of your studies. A MAWISTA student tariff offers up to five years of health insurance and you can still cancel monthly at any time. You can find a suitable student tariff here.
