Assistance with Obtaining EHIC – Health Insurance (EKUZ)

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) allows individuals legally residing in Poland to access public healthcare services in other European Union countries under the same conditions as insured residents of those countries. It covers necessary or emergency medical treatment during temporary stays abroad. The EHIC is especially important for people who travel, work, or study within the EU. Without this card, medical treatment abroad can result in high and unexpected costs. The EHIC provides financial security and easier access to healthcare services when needed. We offer full support throughout the EHIC application process. Our services include document preparation, application assistance, communication with relevant institutions, and monitoring the entire procedure. We help overcome language barriers and administrative difficulties to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Validity Period

Validity of the EHIC card

The validity of the EHIC card depends on your insurance situation. For employees on a standard employment contract, the card can be issued for up to 3 years. For contract work (umowa zlecenie), the validity is shorter and depends on the insurance period – usually around 6 months. For students and children, EHIC is issued for a shorter period, typically 6 months to 1 year.
