FAQ

Insurance in Germany — your questions, answered.

Which insurances do I need as an expat in Germany?
Health insurance is mandatory for everyone living in Germany and is usually required for your visa, job and apartment. Beyond that, most expats also get personal liability insurance (Privathaftpflicht) — it is inexpensive and often expected by landlords. Depending on your situation you may also want legal, household, car or income-protection (Berufsunfähigkeit) cover. A short check helps you see exactly what fits you.
Is German health insurance mandatory for foreigners?
Yes. Anyone who lives in Germany must have health insurance — public (GKV) or private (PKV). Employees usually join a public fund automatically; freelancers, students and high earners often choose private cover. The right choice depends on your income, age and plans, so it is worth getting neutral advice before deciding.
Can I get insurance advice in English in Germany?
Yes. Many independent insurance experts in Germany speak English and are used to working with expats. Versipedia is a neutral directory of verified experts across Germany — you can find one near you, see reviews, and contact them directly. We do not sell policies ourselves.
