Health insurance abroad
Almost everyone who lives and/or works in the Netherlands is insured for care costs through the Long-term Care Act (Wlz) and the Zorgverzekeringswet (Zvw). This usually stops when you move abroad. In some situations, you and/or your family members are entitled to medical care in your new country of residence at the expense of the Netherlands. You will then be covered by the Healthcare Abroad Scheme.
