Insurance Coverage for Erasmus Students: What NextWave Offers in Cyprus and Abroad

October 1, 2024 // Written by Cyrus Razavi

Participating in the Erasmus programme is an exciting opportunity for students to study abroad, experience new cultures, and expand their horizons. Whether you’re coming to Cyprus for your Erasmus experience or a Cypriot student heading abroad, having the right insurance is crucial to ensure a safe and stress-free stay. At NextWave Insurance, we understand the unique needs of Erasmus students and offer comprehensive insurance solutions that provide peace of mind wherever you go.

Why Erasmus Students Need Insurance

Studying abroad comes with its share of uncertainties—unforeseen medical emergencies, travel disruptions, and potential personal liability. Proper insurance coverage is essential to avoid expensive situations and ensure your well-being is taken care of throughout your Erasmus experience. Universities often require proof of insurance before students are admitted, so it’s important to understand your options and ensure you are fully covered.

Insurance Coverage for Erasmus Students in Cyprus with NextWave

If you’re an Erasmus student coming to Cyprus, NextWave offers a range of insurance solutions designed specifically for international students. Here’s what we recommend:

1. Health Insurance

For students from the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) grants access to Cyprus’s public healthcare system. However, EHIC only covers necessary public healthcare services and does not extend to private medical treatments or specialist care.

NextWave offers supplementary private health insurance plans that cover:

  • Private hospitals and clinics
  • Specialized treatments and consultations
  • Dental services

These plans ensure you are covered beyond basic public healthcare and give you access to faster, more convenient medical care in Cyprus.

2. Travel Insurance

As an Erasmus student, travel is an integral part of your experience. From weekend getaways to trips back home, having the right travel insurance is a must. NextWave’s travel insurance covers:

  • Flight cancellations or delays
  • Lost or stolen luggage
  • Trip interruptions due to emergencies
  • Personal belongings protection

Our policies also provide emergency medical coverage, which is crucial if your EHIC or basic health insurance doesn’t cover all medical expenses in certain situations.

3. Personal Liability Insurance

Accidents happen, and it’s important to be prepared. Personal liability insurance covers costs in case you accidentally cause harm to someone or damage property while in Cyprus. Many universities recommend or require this insurance, and at NextWave, we offer plans designed to protect you from significant financial losses due to unforeseen accidents.

Insurance Coverage for Cypriot Erasmus Students Abroad

For Cypriot students participating in the Erasmus programme in another country, NextWave provides insurance solutions tailored to international travel and study. Whether you’re going to study in Europe or beyond, we ensure you have the right protection in place.

1. European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)

Cypriot students studying in EU countries can benefit from their EHIC, which allows access to public healthcare in the host country. However, EHIC coverage has its limitations and does not cover private care or certain treatments.

To bridge this gap, NextWave offers international health insurance plans that cover private healthcare and specialized treatments abroad, ensuring you have access to the best possible care regardless of location.

2. Comprehensive Travel Insurance

When you’re living and studying abroad, travel is a big part of your experience. Whether you’re visiting new cities or returning home for holidays, NextWave’s travel insurance offers:

  • Protection against lost baggage
  • Coverage for trip cancellations or interruptions
  • Emergency medical evacuation

This travel insurance not only covers your journeys but also provides an extra layer of security for unforeseen events during your stay abroad.

3. Personal Liability Insurance

Studying abroad means you’re adapting to new environments and meeting new people. If you accidentally damage property or injure someone, personal liability insurance ensures that you won’t be burdened by legal or financial consequences. NextWave offers policies that protect against claims and provide coverage for legal costs in case of accidents.
