Work and Travel Insurance

What is it?

It is specialised travel assistance for Work and Travel programme participants: it combines the medical and emergency cover of a travel insurance policy with legal and administrative support for the situations that come with living and working abroad for several months.

Who is it for?

• University students in a temporary job abroad
• Young professionals looking for short-term work experience
• Programme participants in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand
• Families and programme coordinators who need to make sure the traveller is covered

Included cover

• Hospital costs and medical consultations for accident or illness
• Emergency transport and medical repatriation
• Telemedicine consultations in Spanish
• Legal assistance with employment or immigration issues
• Replacement of a lost passport and documents
• Refund for trip cancellation or interruption
• Liability cover, useful for incidents at the workplace
• 24/7 assistance centre in Spanish, with a network of medical providers at your destination

The exact amounts and scope of each cover depend on the chosen plan and are stated in the voucher issued at the time of purchase.

Duration and requirements

The cover is set to last for your whole programme, with the option of extending it before it expires if your stay is longer. To buy it you will need a valid passport and the exact dates and destination of your trip.

The voucher you receive works as a digital certificate of cover: many programmes, employers and accommodation providers at your destination will ask for it, as well as the visa application.
