health and insurance health and insurance All international students are required to obtain a Health and Travel Insurance policy that will cover them from the time they leave their country to at least the first one year of their study in Thailand. In the case where the country of origin of students does not have an insurance company that can provide this requirement, the International Student Service (ISS) can provide assistance to them through the university’s appointed insurance company. International students are required to bring an official medical check-up from a reputable hospital from their country of origin to the International Student Service (ISS) immediately after arrival. Then before the first year of insurance coverage expires, international students must contact the International Student Service (ISS) to assist them again in extending their Health and Travel Insurance policy to another year. This process must be repeated every year until the whole duration of their study in Thailand. International students are reminded that Health and Travel Insurance policy is very important in order to protect them from any untoward incident while studying in a different country. Note: It is important that you provide a copy of your Health and Travel Insurance policy as well as contact information of the person from your insurance company so that in case of emergency, the International Student Service (ISS) can assist you in communicating with them. 44
