Hello aspirant,

Indeed, even if you have health insurance from India, you may still need to get German health insurance because everyone in Germany is required to have it, and Indian insurance isn't often accepted as enough by German requirements. You will require a German policy for your visa, university enrollment, and extended stay; your Indian insurance is merely a temporary fix for the first few months of your trip.

Thank you

Hello dear candidate,

Yes, you will need to take health insurance in Germany even if you have already one in India.

As the Indian insurance is not accepted in Germany, and you cannot get a visa or join a college there without German approved health insurance.

Thank you.
