FFLA - Travel Insurance

Print This Page

Note: this information was correct as of October 26, 2004

FFI:
All Friendship Force Ambassadors are required to secure adequate travel and medical insurance to cover emergencies during their exchanges. This requirement can be fulfilled in one of the following ways: a) through the Ambassador's existing insurance policy if it covers international travel, b) through the policy offered by FFI, or c) by purchasing a separate travel insurance package. The Ambassador Application includes the following statement: "I hereby agree to secure adequate travel and medical insurance for the duration of the exchange."

FFLA:
It is suggested that insurance forms be made available at the time of the trip deposit (which may be quite early?) Some insurance has to be applied for within a certain time after that deposit in order to cover preexisting conditions.
