You can take out insurance from one day to a maximum of five years, as long as you are 29 years of age, or younger on the commencement date.
If your stay abroad is longer than you first planned, you may extend the insurance once, by a maximum of two months, providing you will not be insured for more than 5 years. Existing complaints and ailments are then excluded.
If you don’t know how long you’ll need insurance for, it’s better to opt for a longer period, rather than one that may be too short.
