Overview Dutch
Health insurances
Every year in November, you receive a policy from your health insurance company (Zorgverzekering) for the coming year. It is essential to check this policy carefully. Maybe your health needs change for the coming year, or the insurer has changed the terms of your policy. Therefore, you might be insured differently despite having the same policy. Even if your health needs remain the same, checking whether your health insurance is still suitable is advisable.
If your policy no longer fits your needs, you can change your existing policy or switch to another health insurer. You can switch to another health insurer online or by phone. It is essential to do this by 31 December each year. In this case, your new health insurer will automatically cancel your old health insurance policy. If you cancel your policy by 31 December at the latest, you have until the end of January to take out a new policy.
The information on this platform is of interest to people who already have compulsory insurance in the Netherlands and expats who have just arrived in the Netherlands and need an overview of the different insurance options.
Some important notes
No advice
We provide an overview of various health insurance in the Netherlands through a partner. However, it is essential to understand that we are not licensed insurance advisors and are not authorised by the Dutch Financial Market Authority (AFM).

Please also note that all insurance providers presented on the platform serve the Dutch market. So if you live, work or plan to move to the Netherlands, you will find many health insurance options here.
However, it is essential to note that not all providers offer English-language services or support. This can be significant if you need assistance or have questions about your insurance. In addition, some providers may not accept account or phone numbers abroad. It is, therefore, advisable to check these points with the provider before taking out insurance.
If you are subject to social security/resident outside the Netherlands, some providers may be unable to offer their services.

Border Controls Complicate Shopping Trips to Germany
From Monday, Germany is implementing intensified border controls that could particularly affect shopping tourists from neighbouring countries. The measures aim to prevent illegal entries and strengthen internal security. But what does this mean for cross-border commuters and shopping enthusiasts?
Netherlands to Abolish Net Metering: Solar Industry in Turmoil
The announced abolition of the net metering scheme on 1 January 2027 in the Netherlands has caused significant upheaval in the solar industry. Manufacturers and installers of solar panels see their business models threatened, while supporters of the decision hope for a much-needed relief for the electricity grid. This article examines the net metering scheme's background, its abolition consequences, and the prospects for solar energy in the Netherlands.
Price Advantage Attracts: German Border Petrol Stations Experience Surge
Due to lower tax rates on fuel and tobacco in Germany, petrol stations near the border are witnessing a significant increase in customers from the Netherlands. This trend has far-reaching effects on local business and consumer behaviour.
Preservation of Net Metering Secures Future of Solar Panels
The controversial net metering regulation for solar panels, a central element in promoting renewable energies, will remain in place for the coming years. Despite plans by the caretaker cabinet to abolish this regulation, the Senate faction of GroenLinks-PvdA, with a decisive majority, has stood against the changes. This marks a significant victory for owners of solar panels and sends a strong signal in support of renewable energies.
