To avoid unpleasant surprises, check how a move abroad will affect your health-care plan before you leave.
Keeping your ONVZ health-care plan
You’ll be able to keep your ONVZ health-care plan in certain situations. It depends on the country you’re moving to and on whether you’ll continue to work in the Netherlands. Check whether health-care insurance is compulsory in the country you’re moving to. The rules might be different for members of your family.
