Insurance

Travel insurance, student health cover and expat medical insurance, explained from the official rules: the Schengen €30,000 requirement, mandatory expat health systems, student cover by country, and how to judge any policy before you buy.

Insurance is the one section where a wrong guess can cost real money, so these guides separate what is legally required from what is merely sensible. Mandates are quoted from the regulation or embassy page that imposes them — the Schengen medical-cover minimum, student health levies, the countries that will not issue a residence permit without local cover — and policy explainers walk through exclusions, excesses and claim evidence in plain language. Country Pilot does not sell insurance and takes no commission; where a guide compares cover types, it compares features and rules, not brands, so the decision stays yours.
