Remember to pay your healthcare fee to Kela

Students attending a traditional university or a university of applied sciences must pay a healthcare fee to Kela. The fee must be paid for each term. Kela does not send a bill for the fee, so students must make sure to pay it on their own initiative. In 2025, the student healthcare fee in higher education is EUR 35.60 per term. Read more here.
