Initial insurance consultation
We assess your situation — age, program type, university and visa requirements — and explain in plain English whether public (GKV) or private (PKV) student health insurance fits you best.
From your first consultation to the Versicherungsbescheinigung in your visa file, we guide international students through German health insurance — public or private — in plain English.
We focus on one thing only: health insurance for international students in Germany. No distractions, no upselling — just the coverage and documents your visa and university require.
We assess your situation — age, program type, university and visa requirements — and explain in plain English whether public (GKV) or private (PKV) student health insurance fits you best.
Enrollment with German statutory insurers for eligible students — we handle the application, coordinate with the insurer and make sure your coverage starts on time for your studies.
For students over the age limits, language-course or preparatory students, or those who prefer private tariffs — we compare suitable student plans and manage the contracting end to end.
The electronic M10 notification is how your insurer confirms your status to the university. We take care of the process and chase down any M10 issues that could block your enrollment.
We make sure you receive the insurance confirmation documents required for German visa processing and university enrollment — issued correctly, on time, and in the format authorities expect.
Your documents contain sensitive personal data. Every transfer between you, insurers and institutions is handled in line with GDPR — securely, transparently, and only with your consent.
A clear sequence — because German bureaucracy rewards doing things in the right order.

Over five years, we've helped students from around the world start their studies in Germany with the right coverage from day one.
My visa appointment was in three weeks and I had no idea what a Versicherungsbescheinigung even was. GermanyStudentDesk explained everything, set up my insurance and I had the document in my inbox well before my appointment.
My university enrollment was blocked because of an M10 issue with my insurer. One email to the desk and they sorted it out directly with the insurance company. I could finally enroll without losing my semester.
I was 31 and confused about why public insurance wasn't straightforward for me. They compared private student tariffs honestly, explained the differences, and handled the whole contract. Zero stress.
