Expatriate Insurance Netherlands

McKinley International Risk Management works with individuals and organizations that need to provide medical insurance in the Netherlands for expatriate employees, for travelers to Amsterdam and other cities in Holland, and local nationals of the Netherlands and the EU.

Expatriates in Holland and foreign nationals attempting to enter the Netherlands may need to secure special insurance coverage locally in order to obtain the proper work visa. It may be possible to obtain a work visa in the Netherlands by showing proof of a recognized international medical insurance carrier, however it appears as if regulations are getting stronger and expatriates in the Netherlands will need to be enrolled in a locally admitted medical insurance plan in the Netherlands.

Please contact us for a free insurance and general international risk management consultation that will design a strategy that goes beyond global health insurance based on your exact international exposures throughout the Netherlands and the EU (where people are traveling and for how long.) Did we mention this is a free service, something the international consultants will charge you over $5,000 to do.

The Dutch system is similar to most of the EU, and is categorized as socialized, nationalized health insurance that is government run and mandated by law. The system is funded by contributions from the employee, the employer and the government as a percentage of salary.

To qualify for medical benefits in the Netherlands, the individual must have registered with an approved sickness fund. Eligible dependents are entitled to the same benefits as the insured person. Few employees take our supplementary private insurance in the Netherlands.
