Health insurance: Recipients of a Swiss pension living abroad

Recipients of a Swiss pension resident in an EU-/EFTA country or in the United Kingdom (UK) must take out Swiss health insurance. If they live outside the EU/EFTA/UK, they must take out health insurance, not in Switzerland, but in their country of residence.
