As previously informed, in accordance with the Korean Government’s regulation, any foreigner or overseas Korean who has stayed for six months or more in Korea is subject to the statutory subscription to the National Health Insurance Service(NHIS) from July 16th, 2019, onward.

As international students studying in Korea, you must be insured at all times even if the required application of the NHIS has been postponed. For your convenience, Ajou University provides a coverage with KB insurance company for international students.

Additional information related to NHIS regulation will be forthcoming when we receive it from the Korean Government.
