INSURANCE
Aon Insurance
For all ITC students, a full comprehensive insurance (ICS) is arranged. This insurance includes general costs of healthcare, personal liability, luggage and travel, household contents, emergency assistance, accidental death and dismemberment. Some scholarships do not pay for the full costs of the insurance and extra costs may be involved.

The Insurance Certificate will be sent to you by the insurance company AON by email while still in your home country, because you need proof of insurance in the process of getting a visa or MVV.
Course participants from one of the countries of the European Union should be aware of the limitations of their own medical insurance in combination with the European Health Card. They are strongly advised to arrange a complete insurance for personal liability, luggage, household contents, emergency assistance, accidental death and dismemberment, travel (including fieldwork or internship) which can be arranged by ITC Student Affairs, and when indicated, in combination with the health insurance.
For ITC students staying longer than three years in the Netherlands (PhD or unpaid international researcher) and older than 30 years, please check with the ITC Student Affairs Office or visit the following website for more information: https://www.studyinnl.org/plan-your-stay/ insurance
Sometimes (PhD-) students receive letters from the CAK (a public organisation that checks whether a specific citizen is insured following Dutch Law). Students who receive a letter from CAK (normally in Dutch) should not ignore these letters and will need to call in to see an ITC Student Affairs Officer who can help with filling in the necessary form to prove the individual is insured in accordance with Dutch law. Although it is not obliged by Dutch law, an insurance to cover the costs of repatriation and personal liability is strongly recommended.

General information about visas, residence permits and insurance can be found in Chapter 1.
