Visiting scholars

K.U.Leuven provides an insurance package designed especially for visiting scholars who come to Belgium for a period of three months at most (EEA citizens may come for a maximum of six months). The cost of this package is approximately € 75 for three months.

Upon registration at the International Office: International Admissions and Mobility Unit, visiting scholars receive this policy. It covers the reimbursement of medical expenses, the expenses for medicines by medical prescription, the accommodation expenses in the hospital, transport expenses between residence and hospital. It also covers compensation in case of death or permanent disability as a result of an accident. It does not cover third-party liability nor the exercise of the following sports: skiing, mountain climbing, scuba diving, delta gliding, parachuting and hanggliding.

Your family cannot be insured through this policy and will have to obtain private insurance in their home country or in Belgium.
