Student travel insurance is a travel insurance covering any overseas trips by your school or required for your visa application. It will cover medical expenses during your trip. Student travel insurance will pay for an unforeseen illness or accident while living abroad until you are recovered or back to your home country. Coverage is limited to a maximum of 365 days but it can be renewed with the insurer’s approval. The key purpose of the student travel insurance is to cover the medical expenses that may arise during your trip, but it can also include accident insurance, as well as emergency evacuation, loss of luggage, trip cancellation or delays.
