Schengen health insurance Young Travel

Briefly explained – What is health insurance for foreign students and au pairs?

• In the Federal Republic of Germany, there is a very good healthcare system designed to protect all citizens from the financial risks of illness or accident. For this reason, individual health insurance in the Federal Republic is mandatory.
• It is possible that you will need a visa for your stay in Germany. Incoming health insurance meets the requirements for obtaining your visa.
• In the event of an accident or illness, you will receive first-class medical care in Germany thanks to Young Travel.
• You do not need to worry about money and can enjoy your stay in Germany to the max – whether studying or at a party!

Why is Young Travel the right choice for students, au pairs or young travellers?

If you want to get health insurance in Germany as international students, au pairs or Work & Travel participants, Young Travel Basic or Young Travel Professional are perfect tariffs for you. And because life is not always predictable, especially as a young person, we at Advigon have tried to be an insurance provider that is as flexible as possible. Our Young Travel insurance is particularly attractive for spontaneous travelers, as the insurance can simply be taken out online up to 31 days after entry. You can cancel your health insurance early if, for example, you don’t get on with your au pair host family and return home prematurely. It is fast and easy! And if you love it so much in Germany that you want to stay longer, you can easily extend the period of your insurance cover – for up to five years.
For contracts lasting at least twelve months, you are even covered in your home country by Young Travel health insurance, for example if you want to visit your parents during the holiday season (maximum six weeks, in USA and Canada up to 14 days). And if you need to make a claim with Advigon because of an accident or a medical illness, you will be assisted by our Emergency Assistance Line – trained experts – day and night, including Sundays and public holidays! You can reach us at +49 621 549 1906.

Case studies: That’s how international students and travellers benefit from our health insurance

Jack is a 20 year old student from Great Britain and spends two semesters at a private university in Germany. During a sunny weekend trip to a bathing lake, he suffered a laceration on his head while doing stand-up paddling and had to be taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital for medical treatment. His health insurance Advigon Young Travel steps in and covers the costs of the treatment.

Deborah, 18, from the United States would like to be an au pair in Germany for a year. She takes out a Basic tariff with Advigon's Young Travel health insurance. Unfortunately, she does not get along well with the host family and would rather go back home. With Advigon's flexible tariff it is no problem to terminate the insurance as well. She keeps the ticket of the return trip as proof and terminates her insurance with Advigon.
