AIESEC-STUDENT-INSURANCE is no longer offered. Of course, insurance cover continues to exist for all contracts already concluded.

To ensure that you can start your stay abroad with the best possible security, we recommend PROTRIP-WORLD, the insurance for worldwide travel and longer stays abroad.

Information for AIESEC members

You are a member of the AIESEC association and are planning a stay abroad regardless of an AIESEC program? Provided that your stay abroad is based on education or cultural exchange, you also qualify for taking out the AIESEC-STUDENT-INSURANCE. Here we offer insurance-related tips and practical advice, which come in handy during a stay abroad as high school student, language and exchange student, intern, Work & Travel participant or volunteer.

Check your insurance cover

Many countries have regulations defining which kind of insurance you need to have. If you travel abroad through a program, insurance cover is often already included in the program. The insurance policies offered by most programs and universities are ok and you don’t need to take care of anything else. Sometimes, however, the insurance cover provided is not as good as what you are used to in your home country. That’s why you should take the time prior to your trip to thoroughly check the offered insurance policy. It is vital though that you should never travel abroad without having proper international health insurance.

Here are some of the issues you should check:

• Which policy requirements have been specified by the target country?
• Are you covered for outward and return journey and for the time before and after your program?
• Does the policy provide you with cover for other benefits apart from illness and accidents?
• Are you covered in case of an interruption of your program, for example during a holiday?
• Are you covered in case of sports accidents?
• Are you covered in case of an accident resulting from hazardous activities such as rafting, skiing or bungee jumping (if that’s your thing)?

If such an insurance policy meets your expectations, you should probably purchase it. If you are still not really convinced or if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to provide you with independent and objective advice.

Prior to your stay abroad

Many embassies require an insurance certificate as a prerequisite for granting visa. So make sure to purchase insurance in time.
