Student Health Insurance for Studying Abroad

Get the required health coverage for your study abroad journey. We help you choose the right, visa-approved insurance plan for Australia, Canada, the UK, the USA, Italy, New Zealand, and more.

Why Health Insurance Is Essential for International Students

Mandatory for Visa Approval

Most study-abroad countries, including Australia, the  UK, Canada, and New Zealand, require valid health insurance for your student visa. Without approved coverage, your visa application cannot be submitted.

Covers Medical & Hospital Costs

International student insurance protects you from expensive medical bills. It covers doctor visits, emergency treatment, hospital care, prescription medicines, and basic health services while you study abroad.

Helps in Emergencies

Unexpected emergencies can happen anytime. Insurance ensures you get immediate support without worrying about high costs, especially in countries with costly healthcare systems.

Keeps You Compliant Throughout Your Stay

Health insurance must remain valid for your entire study duration. It keeps you compliant with university and immigration rules so you can focus on your studies without risk.

Health Insurance Requirements by Destination

Australia – OSHC Requirement

International students must hold Overseas Student Health Cover for the entire study duration. It is mandatory for visa lodgement and provides basic medical, hospital and emergency services.

United Kingdom – NHS Health Surcharge

Students need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge, which gives access to the National Health Service. It covers doctor visits, emergency treatment and essential medical support.

Canada – Provincial or Private Coverage

Health insurance rules vary by province. Some offer government healthcare to international students, while others require private insurance arranged before arrival.

United States – University Insurance Plans

Most universities have mandatory student insurance plans. They typically include doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions and emergency services.

New Zealand – Compulsory Student Insurance

All international students must have approved medical and travel insurance. It must meet the government’s minimum health cover requirements.

Italy – SSN or Private Insurance

Students can enrol in the National Health Service or purchase private insurance. Both options help cover medical consultations, hospital care and emergency support.

Common Challenges Students Face in Visa Processing

Choosing the Right Provider

We help you compare approved insurance providers for each country so you can select a plan that matches your study location, university rules, and personal needs.

Estimating Your Total Cost

You receive a clear breakdown of insurance prices based on course duration, visa length, and country regulations. No hidden fees or confusing calculations.

Ensuring Visa Compliance

Each country has strict rules for student health insurance. We make sure your selected policy fully meets the visa requirements for Australia, the UK, Canada, the USA, New Zealand, and Italy.

Help With Payment and Documentation

We assist you in completing payments, organising receipts, and preparing the insurance documents required for your COE, CAS, I-20, or visa file.

Insurance Confirmation for Admissions & Visa

You receive the official insurance confirmation letter needed for university enrolment and visa submission, ensuring there are no delays.

Renewal & Extension Assistance

If your course extends or your visa requires more coverage, we guide you through the renewal process and help maintain continuous health cover.

Health Insurance Options for International Students

Government-Mandated Insurance

Many countries require students to purchase government-approved health insurance before the visa is granted. Examples include OSHC for Australia and the NHS surcharge for the UK. These plans ensure you meet all immigration rules and receive essential medical coverage.

University-Provided Insurance

Some universities, especially in the USA, offer their own student insurance plans. These are designed to match campus health services and medical requirements. In many cases, students must enrol in the university’s plan unless they show proof of an approved alternative.

Private International Student Health Plans

Students can choose private insurance for wider coverage, better hospital networks, and additional benefits. These plans are flexible and useful for destinations where government coverage is limited or optional.

Short-Term Travel Medical Insurance

This covers medical emergencies during your journey and early days abroad. It is helpful before your main student insurance becomes active, and it provides protection for unexpected situations during travel.
