Travel Insurance for:

International Students, Visitors to NZ, Working Holiday

Why you need cover in New Zealand

New Zealand is generally regarded as a safe place for travellers, it is strongly recommended that all visitors and visa holders have relevant insurance protection. With Visiting New Zealand travel insurance, you'll have the comfort of knowing that you'll be looked after if the unexpected happens.

Am I eligible?

Most non-residents holding visas other than an international student visa are eligible for cover. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Visitors/ Working Holiday and Guardian visas

  • Job search and work visas

  • General migrants

Once you are a Permanent Resident of New Zealand, you are no longer eligible for cover under this policy.

Cover for work and jobs

Most types of work can be covered, except for professional sport, heavy manual and hazardous work. However, all work is excluded from personal liability claims. Claims for accidents should be made to the New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) in the first instance.
