The CAK in the Netherlands

The CAK in the Netherlands regularly monitors whether you have basic care insurance, based on information from the municipal personal records database.

The students of Sint Maarten are not included in the obligation to insure under the Dutch Long-Term Care Act (WLZ): if you have no income from work/internship in the Netherlands, you are not in a registered partnership and you do not have a child. You may as yet receive a letter from the CAK, stating you are not insured. If you do, immediately perform the check of the Dutch Social Insurance Bank (SVB), otherwise you run the risk of a fine.

Do the SVB check

In the Netherlands there is an obligation to take out basic health insurance, a law that does not apply in specific situations, such as for students from Sint Maarten, who study in the Netherlands.

We advise you to regularly check whether, as a student, you are obligated to take out a policy for the Dutch basic health insurance. Use the SVB check of the Dutch Social Insurance Bank for this.
