Frequently Asked Question for Foreign Health Insurance

  Yeni ikamet yasası ile birlikte oturum izni veya ikamet tezkeresi için başvuran yabancı uyrukluların genel sağlık sigortası yaptırmaları zorunlu hale getirildi. 11 Nisan 2014 yılında yürürlüğe giren yasa ile birlikte ikamet tezkeresine veya oturma iznine hangi süreyle başvurulduğuna bakılmaksızın 1 yıllık genel sağlık sigortası poliçesinin evraklarla birlikte sunulması gerekiyor.

  Burada en çok karışıklığa sebep olan konu ise yabancı sağlık sigortanın kapsamı. Kimi yerlerde Nefes Sağlık, İlk Yardım, Can Simidi gibi sadece acil durumları kapsayan poliçeler kabul edilirken kimi yerlerde sadece yatarak tedaviyi kapsayan poliçeler kabul edilmekte. Oysa ki sigortanın kapsamı hem yatarak hem ayakta tedaviyi karşılayacak şekilde olması lazımdır. Şu unutulmamalıdır ki yabancılar şubeleri sadece başvuruyu almakla yetkili olup onay makamı Göç İdaresi Başkanlığı olacaktır.
