Tip
Is your (new) home country not listed? Then the Netherlands has not made any agreements with your country of residence about your medical care in that country. Take out your own health insurance for yourself and the family members who move with you. This also applies to Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Sint Eustatius, Saba and Suriname. Contact the embassy or consulate for more information.
