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.
Use the OmaKela e-service to pay the healthcare fee. In October 2024, Kela will send a letter to students who have registered as attending for the autumn term but have not yet paid the healthcare fee.
The healthcare fee is EUR 36.80 per term and the due date for the autumn term is 15 November, if you register as attending by 30 September.
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.
