VELA offers effective and favorable insurance for your studies in Germany to make sure that you are insured in the best possible way. Apart from the very important health insurance, we can also provide you with a liability and accident insurance here with us.


German health insurance for foreign students

Just imagine that after each medical consultation or hospital stay, you were to pay a high invoice out of your own pocket. This can be very expansive.
