Tolerated stay is not temporary protection

War-related tolerated-stay visas may carry D/VS/91 or D/SD/91 codes. Temporary protection uses D/DO/… . Similar-looking visa stickers do not create the same insurance rights.

Outside Czech public health insurance

For war-related tolerated stay, the Interior Ministry’s information portal describes commercial insurance from the start of the stay. Check any separate entitlement to public insurance, such as qualifying employment, with a public health insurer.

NZPC is narrower commercial cover. It is not automatically suitable for every tolerated-stay visa. Slavia’s product sheet focuses its NZPC target market on short stays and excludes planned long-term settlement. We therefore verify suitability for the actual residence situation before recommending a product.

Not all tolerated-stay categories are the same

For applications under section 33(1)(c) of the Foreign Nationals Residence Act, the official portal lists comprehensive health insurance. Tolerated stay under asylum legislation is another separate situation. The word “tolerated” alone is not enough to choose a policy.

What to tell us

Start with the visa category, intended insurance dates and whether you are in the public system. We can help check whether NZPC or comprehensive insurance is appropriate. No passport image is needed for the initial enquiry. The final offer confirms price and availability.

Already have temporary protection?

Resolve public-insurance contributions with your public health insurer. The end of an initial state-paid period does not itself mean you should replace public insurance with commercial NZPC.

Frequently asked questions

Does a tolerated-stay visa equal temporary protection?

No. These are different residence categories with different rights and obligations.

Should I simply select the cheapest policy?

No. The policy scope, limits and target market need to match your actual situation.
