If you are doing any voluntary or paid teaching work while away from the UK, it is essential to be adequately protected against life’s unwelcome and unexpected events.
All travellers need comprehensive Travel Insurance for the duration of their travels overseas. You have exposure pre-departure, for cancellation, in transit, in the overseas country, for repatriation and if you wish to travel, including returning back to the UK, etc. Without proper protection, the potential costs for repatriation can be incredibly costly.
Which is why we are partnered with the UK’s only extended stay travel insurance specialists and recommend you take out the necessary travel insurance. Click here for full details or to apply online through the fully automated, immediate system.
About Long Stay Travel Insurance for TEFL teachers
These travel insurance schemes run for one to twelve months inclusive, and plans can be extended as required.
Schemes
Comprehensive – Includes all basic essential cover plus cover for listed hazardous activities
Basic – Just three sections of cover
Study Abroad – Includes course related cover and multiple journeys back to the UK
Travel Insurance Cover is still available if you:
Have already left the UK
Possible in theory, but difficult to get. Most companies allow you to purchase travel insurance even as late as in line for boarding. If you do acquire insurance post-travel, don’t expect to cover anything unexpected before purchase – a condition that cost uninsured travellers millions of pounds .
Are a non-EU resident going home from the UK
Whether you are returning home for good or just visiting, you can find travel and health insurance policies willing to accommodate your needs. Non-EU residents may have to sign up as a non-EU resident before the cover activates but are entitled to the same travel insurance as EU residents. Our Long Stay travel insurance partner only offers cover to UK and EU residents.
Please Note: All travellers must complete an Underwriter’s document before renewing their insurance.
