Hi

does anyone aprox. knows how much a private healthcare insurance costs for 2 adults (44 and 35 yo)and one young child of 4 yo?
I ask this because Swedish migration service want us to show a healthcare certificate which is valid for ONE year, with FULL coverage. I am EU citizen and our kid also,my wife is not. Right now we still live in Paraguay. Thanks in advance...regards, Johan

Fees for foreign citizens
Foreign citizens are entitled to emergency care in Sweden.

If you come from another EU or EEA country, or Switzerland, you need a European Health Insurance Card to prove that you are entitled to emergency care at the ordinary fee. If you do not have a card, you may have to pay the entire cost.

If you obtain non-emergency care and do not want to pay more than the fee, you must have a certificate indicating that your country of origin will pay the rest. If you do not have such a certificate, you will be responsible for the entire cost.

If you come from most countries outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland, you will have to pay the entire cost of emergency or any other type of care.

I see it as that to obtain insurance in the country you are resident in
