On the 13th of July 2021, the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the Czech parliament, decided that foreigners (incl. students, interns, and expats) with a long-term stay permit for the Czech Republic will be required to purchase private insurance from Pojišťovna VZP for the next five years according to the revised Czech Foreigners Act. This decision and change came into effect on the 2nd of August 2021.
This means that if you are applying for a long-term stay permit for the Czech Republic, the current insurance plan is unfortunately not the right choice, and you must purchase a policy with Pojišťovna VZP.
