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 here on this website, or

c)    By purchasing a separate travel insurance package from the ambassador’s preferred insurance provider.

The Ambassador Application and Agreement form includes the following statement: “I hereby agree to secure adequate travel and medical insurance for the duration of the exchange.” Evidence of appropriate cover must be shown to your Exchange Director prior to commencing travel on the exchange.
