The main pathway
Students who remain insured through the competent system in North Macedonia can request bilateral form RM/SI 3. After arriving in Slovenia:
- Take the original RM/SI 3 to the relevant ZZZS regional unit.
- ZZZS registers the entitlement.
- ZZZS issues Potrdilo MedZZ.
- Use the certificate with public or contracted healthcare providers according to the bilateral entitlement.
- Monitor the validity date and renew when needed.
What the coverage means
Official Slovenian guidance describes this route as access to emergency healthcare under the bilateral arrangement.
Do not present it as unlimited full coverage for every planned service, private provider, dental procedure, medication, or specialist treatment.
Before leaving Macedonia
Ask the competent Macedonian health-insurance office:
- Am I eligible based on my current insurance status?
- Which application and evidence are required?
- Is current student or family-insurance evidence needed?
- What validity period will be issued?
- What happens if I turn a certain age or lose dependent status?
- Can the form be renewed from abroad?
- Which branch is competent?
- Do I need proof of enrolment or admission?
Additional insurance
Consider separate travel or private insurance for:
- Period before bilateral registration is completed
- Repatriation
- Private treatment
- Broader dental coverage
- Travel outside Slovenia
- Services not covered by the bilateral arrangement
Read exclusions and do not purchase only based on price.
