To buy travel insurance for immigration for a year, the prices range from 600 to 700 PLN, but they also offer a discount of around 15 percent or less, which makes it cheaper somewhere around 400 to 500 zloty. So that’s why we put it at the top of the list.

Their price range is around 600–650 PLN per year. Right now, their price is 622 PLN, but it can be different by time, so that’s why we said it would be around 600–650 PLN per year. That means you can buy one year of health insurance for this price, which is also reasonable to buy.

Polisa Obcokrajowca, or iExpert, is another insurance policy that you can think of buying for immigration purposes. Their prices are closer to those of WIENER (Vienna Insurance Group) and CUK Ubezpieczenia.
