Your trip is so beautiful and you have decided to stay in Germany or Europe for a few more weeks or months and you would now like to extend your international health insurance. But often it is not possible to extend the limited travel health insurance from abroad, because for example the maximum insurance period is reached. However, you need a valid international health insurance to extend your visa. PROVISIT as connecting insurance is now the solution. The travel health insurance can be concluded up to 12 months after arrival for a maximum of 1 year. Of course, we recommend to take out the policy before the start of the journey, so that you are insured from the beginning of your stay abroad. If the PROVISIT insurance is concluded more than one month after the start of the trip, the waiting period in the health insurance is one month. The waiting period can be waived if the insurance policy immediately follows a previous insurance. After application of PROVISIT insurance, please send us the proof of pre-insurance to contract@dr-walter.com. The waiting period does not apply in case of an accident or medical help aiming to prevent acute danger to the insured person’s life, such as cardiac arrest.
