Why do I need International Student Insurance?
Student insurance covers your health, travel and stay. If something goes wrong, the insurance covers the costs of your medical care and can even get you back home.
Applying for the proper insurance when studying abroad can be challenging. That is why we made it quick and easy for you. If you already have insurance, have a second look, as it might not be enough. You must follow the criteria set by your university, local laws and regulations, and immigration laws.
What is typically missing in local or other insurances?
This also applies even if you have a European Health Insurance Card.
Or you have a terrible illness while studying abroad or traveling for a job. In that situation, your family might wish to see you. Their flight ticket fees can be reimbursed by the insurer.
The baggage insurance covers loss, damage and theft -during the trip to and from your destination country, and during recreational travel.
Check your VISA and university requirements
Remember that the country you are visiting, or the university may have additional insurance requirements. You will have most of those needs covered by the extra products mentioned above.
European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
Please keep in mind that the EHIC is not a substitute for travel insurance, as recommended by the EU (additional EHIC information).
An EHIC gives the student the right to access state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in another EU country, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland.
When you have a valid EHIC during your study period, you are only covered for emergency medical expenses. Please keep in mind that this does not include any costs for medical evacuation, physical therapy, acupuncture, or emergency dental costs. You are not also covered for your personal belongings, liability, legal aid, emergency assistance, or additional travel expenses.
The validity of the EHIC is determined by your home country and your home insurer. It may not cover the entire period of study. Please check the validity of your EHIC with your home country's insurer for your study period abroad.
Obtaining additional insurance while studying abroad is especially important for risks that are not covered by your EHIC. This is to ensure that you are adequately insured during your study period.
Family members
If you are traveling with your spouse or children, they will also require insurance.
