Should you inform your insurance provider in case you need to travel to a different country from the one you originally intended to?
You do not have to inform us if you choose to travel to a different country as long as the alternative country belongs to the same area of validity as the country you indicated.
If the alternative country belongs to a different area of validity and if you stay there for more than 6 weeks, you need to inform us. Please also note the FAQ “I want to travel to more than one country, and these countries belong to regions with different areas of validity. Which insurance should I purchase?” in the section “Questions regarding application”.
What is the health insurance that is required by law?
Information for students and doctoral students – Compulsory insurance!
In many countries of the world there are regulations on how you must insure yourself as a student or doctoral student. If you go abroad via a program – such as Erasmus Plus – the insurance cover is already given about the program.
If you intend to study in the USA or Canada, you must know that many universities require that students take out health insurance through the university. At best you inform yourself at your future university how you can plan for the time of the should be insured during a stay abroad. Under no circumstances should you be without a suitable foreign insurance travel abroad.
Our tip: We recommend that you take out insurance for the longest possible period of study that you are considering so that you are not suddenly left without protection and, for example, cannot continue your studies.

Information for interns – Our recommendation!
The PROTRIP-WORLD insurance for interns adapts to your travel plans. You have the choice between different travel regions and you can also flexibly choose the scope of insurance: PROTRIP-WORLD always includes a strong international health insurance.
We especially recommend interns to supplement their insurance cover with the Comfort or Plus Package to be able to travel and work without worries. The two packages differ in the scope of the liability insurance. The Plus Package offers students and Erasmus Plus participants particularly good protection. It includes, among other things, higher benefits in the event of damage caused by internships as part of a study or Erasmus Plus program.
