Higher education students can now pay the healthcare fee to Kela

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.
● 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.
