About us
GERMAN STUDENT INSURANCE is a service provided by DR-WALTER GmbH in cooperation with the Techniker Krankenkasse (TK). On this page you will find general information about DR-WALTER.
The idea behind GERMAN STUDENT INSURANCE
DR-WALTER aims at making it as easy as possible for students and other foreign visitors to come to Germany and fulfill the necessary prerequisites. One of the prerequisites for a stay in Germany is obtaining a visa which again is subject to several conditions. One of these conditions is that foreign visitors have to prove that they have health insurance during their stay in Germany.
The German regulations concerning health insurance for students from abroad are complex. We from DR-WALTER want to make the process of finding the right insurance solution as simple as possible for our foreign visitors.
