Student travel insurance covers treatment, medical transport, return after treatment and repatriation of remains for students abroad for language school, Erasmus, undergraduate or postgraduate study who fall suddenly ill or have an accident. Many schools and consulates ask for a valid health policy at enrolment and student visa stage. We compare insurers' options by study length, destination and the cover amount your school requires; Sompo Sigorta's Study Abroad Travel Insurance is also listed on our travel insurance page.

What you should know
We recommend checking the minimum cover amount and policy language required by your school or destination country before applying; send us the documents and we will choose a suitable policy together.
In the student package of one of the insurers we represent, medical transport, return after treatment and repatriation covers have a EUR 30,000 limit. Limits may vary by insurer and plan; ask us for current amounts.
Frequently asked questions
The policy period is set according to your programme; for long programmes we compare suitable duration options across insurers. If you need an extension, just let us know before the policy ends.
Besides health covers, your programme may also require personal liability cover. Some products offer it as an option; for example, Sompo Sigorta's study abroad product allows liability cover to be added for Erasmus.
