Health insurance is often mandatory for international students studying abroad. Many countries require proof of coverage as part of the visa application process to ensure students can access medical care without burdening local systems.
Even if not legally required, having health insurance is highly advisable. Overseas medical costs can be exorbitant, and insurance provides financial protection against emergencies, accidents, or illnesses. Policies tailored for students typically cover hospitalization, doctor visits, and sometimes repatriation.
Check your destination country’s specific requirements and compare insurance plans for adequate coverage. Your school may also offer or recommend suitable policies.
