Already Overseas Travel Insurance

We know how hard it can be to find an Australian based travel insurance company that will sell policies to Australians already overseas but we certainly can help you. We have helped many Australians over the years to secure already overseas travel insurance for the remainder of their trip overseas before returning home to Australia. You must be returning to Australia on the policy, we cannot insure just a portion of your trip whilst overseas.

If you already overseas, travel insurers may be reluctant to extend the travel insurance policy that you originally bought from them in Australia. Or equally so if you have overlooked the expiry date of your policy the insurer may not be able to sell you a new policy. nib Travel Insurance can offer you either their Comprehensive Plan or Essentials Plan ( under 70 years of age ) to cover you for the remainder of your trip. You must be returning to Australia.

If you have already started travelling there is a 72 hour waiting period for all sections of the policy from the time you purchase a policy. However, if after the trip departure date noted on your Certificate of Insurance and before the end of the 72 hour waiting period you suffer an injury as a result of an accident, cover as per the conditions of Medical expenses and Medical evacuation and repatriation begins from the time of the accident of that injury. It goes without saying that in this current climate you will have to be careful where you travel and make sure you abide by any government’s travel restrictions that may be in place.

So all you need to do is to click on the detailed quote button above and complete the details we ask for. In the comments section, mention you are already overseas and just give us a summary of your current and future travelling scenario. We will then email you an accurate quote and include all the relevant information that you need to consider before purchasing a policy,
