The due date for the KELA's student healthcare fee is approaching

The fee must be paid by all students who are completing a degree at a Finnish institution of higher education and have registered as attending for the term in question.

If you are not sure whether you have to pay the fee, see who must pay the healthcare fee for students in higher education.

• Use the OmaKela e-service to pay the healthcare fee. In February, Kela will send a letter to students who have registered as attending for the spring term but have not yet paid the healthcare fee.
• The healthcare fee is EUR 35.60 per term.
• It must be paid for both the spring and autumn terms.
• The due date for the spring term is 15 March, if you register as attending by 31 January.
• If you cannot use OmaKela for instance because you do not have Finnish banking credentials, please pay the fee to Kela as a bank transfer.
