Health insurance for the co-applicant!
Hi,
My husband and I are from a Non-EU country. My husband has a work permit for 3 months and a half. He is insured by his employer in Sweden. I have the residence permit as his co-applicant for the same period of time. I want to know whether I am insured through his employer as well or I need to get a separate health insurance for my self before entering Sweden.
Thanks

If you are going to live in Sweden less than 12 months, if you do not work in Sweden or do not come from Switzerland or a country that is part of the EU/EEA, in most cases you must pay the full cost yourself if you need healthcare. The exception is if you come from a country with which Sweden has a special healthcare agreement. This applies to Algeria, Australia, Chile, Israel, Turkey, Quebec (Canada), and the British islands Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. If you come from one of these countries, contact the equivalent of Försäkringskassan in that country to find out what applies for you.
Also, please be advised that, Försäkringskassan is a social insurance agency. If you have questions about health insurance for a non EU citizen who does not have a personal number yet, please contact the local county council (Landstinget) that your husband belongs. It is the institution that is responsible for health care in Sweden.
