Schengen area health insurance required for long-stay student visa

Italian long-stay visas require โ‚ฌ30,000 Schengen health insurance. US universities require the same for enrollment in semester abroad programs.

Tower Hill provides a Schengen-compliant certificate of insurance for visa applications.

Healthcare in Italy for US Students

Italy's Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (SSN) provides emergency care to all visitors. Non-emergency care through the public system is slow and requires registration. Major cities (Rome, Florence, Milan) have private English-speaking clinics.

โš ๏ธ Why your US plan isn't enough

Italy is a Schengen country. Long-stay student visas require โ‚ฌ30,000 minimum insurance coverage. US domestic plans do not cover Italian care. Study abroad insurance covers both visa requirements and actual healthcare needs.
