Insurance coverage shall be taken out prior to departure from home country and for the entire stay abroad. We may exceptionally provide insurance coverage even though someone is already abroad. Please note that pre-existing conditions are excluded from coverage and there is a waiting period of 31 days for illnesses if there is no proof of active insurance coverage. In case your previous insurance ends due to the current situation, the insurer needs to individually verify later if your proof of insurance can be accepted to waive the waiting period.
