Health Insurance & Residency

01/12/2012 - 06:26

I'm trying to find more information about residency. Am I right to think that the 2 main requirements are that I have sufficient means to support myself and health insurance. I'm a Type 2 Diabetic and am concerned about obtaining an affordable health insurance policy. Does anyone have any similar experience or advice

The requirement for health insurance is only that it is comprehensive - there is no amount involved.   It may be that your province will allow you to take up Assicurazione Volontaria with the ASL which has a fixed fee, and is the cheapest option - but only if available.  THe minimum income requirement is 6041 euros pa for a single person. 

if you have been paying NI in the UK you do not need private health cover, you can transfer your contributions from the UK to apply here using form S1. Please do a search and you will see I have written lots on this subject before.
