Being a student is an exciting time, it might be the first time you move out of home, it’s an opportunity to meet new people and for some, it’s a chance to see the world. So if you’re studying abroad, make sure you’ve thought about International student health insurance. It covers you when you’re studying overseas or if you want health insurance that covers you in more than one country.

FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
After you’ve been accepted by a study program or a university overseas, there’s one mandatory detail you need to take care of before you set off for foreign shores – health insurance. It’s quite a downer after the euphoria of waiting to be accepted by a university of your choice but it’s something you, quite literally, cannot afford to ignore.
The most obvious question you’re confronting is: as an international student, will you need to purchase health insurance? There is no clear-cut answer because it all depends on the government of the foreign country, its health care system and the university you are enrolled with. The systems and policies vary from one country to another, so take some time to study them carefully. For instance, Australia mandate that foreign students take insurance cover.
