We encourage you to make sure that the insurance coverage you are going to purchase is as comprehensive as possible. You may even refer to the minimum requirements set out by EACEA for the Erasmus Mundus programmes, though you may get an Italian residence permit even by providing cheaper options (see below), as long as you are ready to pay for additional expenses that might arise during your stay in Italy. If you wish, you may refer to the below-listed companies, which offer insurance that complies with the minimum requirements to obtain an Italian residence permit, at least. That means that they may not be enough to obtain a visa/permit when you are going to spend a semester in another EU country, in Germany for instance. Please double-check before completing the purchase for a whole year or more and contact the related staff at our partners, as in other countries than Italy, they might require that you purchase a more comprehensive one and/or public health insurance to obtain a visa/permit and even to enrol at their university.
