If you’re planning to study abroad, there are three key reasons why you will need an international student health insurance plan:

• Visa/Proof of Subsistence: Most countries require incoming international students to possess a visa while studying abroad. Several of these countries, such as the United States, ask for proof of subsistence for things like food and medical expenses incurred while traveling.
• Study Abroad Program: Many study abroad programs, like in Australia, France, and Spain, require students to either register for a predetermined plan or provide their own student medical insurance.
• Unexpected Medical Costs: A plan can help mitigate out-of-pocket spending for unexpected medical costs. Students studying abroad, especially on a budget, should consider investing in a health insurance plan.

Depending where you plan to study in Germany, England or Australia, you should research your destination country’s visa requirements in order to know if you’ll need medical insurance. Every destination is different. However, some countries ask visitors to provide proof of subsistence for medical expenses in order to obtain a visa. An international student health insurance plan may not be required like in the U.S., but it is commonly used as proof of subsistence for medical costs. There are a few visas that do require insurance:

• Student Schengen Visa: Non-European citizens who plan to study in Europe must apply for a student Schengen visa. The Schengen visa not only allows you to study in Europe, it also allows you to travel to other European countries that are part of the Schengen area.

• F-1 Visa: International students looking to study on a long-term basis and receive a degree in the United States will need an F-1 visa. Discover everything you’ll need for an F-1 visa.
• J-1 Visa: These visas are issued for international visitors enrolled in a short-term, work-and-study based exchange programs in the United States.
