What is insurance for studying abroad?

  • Insurance for studying abroad means that you take out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your studies, your education, and your related activities abroad.
  • Insurance for studying abroad is also referred to as study insurance. This study insurance is specifically for when you go abroad for a long period of time to take courses, study, or conduct research abroad.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a study abroad?

  • Study insurance is specifically designed for studying abroad, whereas regular travel insurance policies may offer coverage on paper but handle this situation differently in practice.
  • Study insurance offers coverage for longer stays than regular (vacation) travel insurance.
  • Study insurance is also suitable for many types of activities, ranging from various sports to hiking at high altitudes.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if you start working during your trip, whether planned or unplanned. If you have not taken out insurance before departure that allows you to work, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take out insurance abroad that provides coverage.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if your own country's health insurance no longer provides coverage.
  • Student insurance also covers your healthcare costs above the rates in your own country; with regular insurance, you have to pay the extra costs yourself.
  • Student insurance can also continue to provide coverage if (study) visa issuers impose additional requirements on how you insure yourself, for example if you are going to the US and applying for a J-1 visa.
  • Student insurance continues to provide coverage if you are staying abroad for a longer period of time and want to visit your own country in between.
Back to top

What is important to insure when you are going to study abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to travel and work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work alongside your studies.

Why should you take out travel insurance and why through the JoHo Foundation?

Why should you take out travel insurance and why through the JoHo Foundation?

Why Insurances through JoHo

  • Specialized: in emigration, work, internships, study and travel abroad.

  • Service: JoHo offers multiple travel insurances by multiple companies. Thanks to JoHo's extensive experience, it can offer support in case of problems with insurers, as well as advice and fast and personal handling.

  • Safe: JoHo is recognized as a trustworthy intermediary for insurances.

  • Social: by purchasing an insurance through JoHo you provide a talented student in The Philippines with health insurance

Why Should You Take Out A Travel Insurance?

  • The chance of getting injured or ill is generally higher than when you would have stayed at home. The medical care you will need can be very expensive, even more so if you are treated in a private clinic.

  • If you have to fly back because of family circumstances, the flights might be more expensive than your original flight because you have to fly on short notice.

  • You might have to deal with the damage, loss or theft of your luggage.

  • In case of emergency it can be difficult to figure out what to do. A good travel insurance will have an assistance team on standby for you 24/7 and will be able to tell you what steps to take.

Why Should You Specifically Take Out A Travel Insurance For A Long Trip Abroad?

  • Often regular travel or health insurances only cover trips for a maximum number of days (for example 60, 90 or 180 days).

  • Depending on your home country, your health insurance might not offer any coverage for treatment abroad.

  • During a long trip you might consider specific activities, like paid work or volunteering. Regular travel insurances often don’t cover these kind of activities. The same goes for adventurous/ hazardous sports like skydiving, scuba-diving and bungee jumping.

More on why to use JoHo

  • JoHo is one of the few organizations where you can directly purchase a comprehensive range of foreign insurances from a variety of insurers. As with our other products and services, we believe that you should be able to choose between the best, the most cost effective and the most specialized insurance.

  • JoHo offers various possibilities from combining insurances to assisting in transferring from one insurer to another.

  • When you purchase an insurance policy through JoHo, you will not pay more than if you had purchased it directly from the insurer. Sometimes (through special collective agreements) you will even pay less.

  • JoHo offers support with problems that may arise with the insurer. Sometimes disagreement with claims, cancellation notice or insurance premiums can occur. In this situation it helps if you have the assistance of an organization who has an established relationship with the insurer.

How does healthcare work in Oman, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

How does the healthcare system work in Oman?

Back to top

What is the quality of healthcare in Oman?

  • Over the past 50 years, Oman has given their healthcare system a huge boost.
  • Oman now has a well-developed healthcare system that is accessible to both locals and expats. The Ministry of Health (MoH) manages the public system, while there is also a growing number of private healthcare facilities. Healthcare in Oman is known for its high standards and good hygiene.
  • Oman relies on foreign expertise, imported medicines and equipment.
  • Pharmacies are widespread in cities and larger towns. In major cities such as Muscat and Salalah, 24/7 pharmacies are available, with a wide range of medicines.
  • Many medicines that are available on prescription in the West are available over the counter in Oman. However, stronger medicines such as antibiotics and painkillers require a doctor’s prescription. In addition to Western medicines, traditional Arabic and Indian remedies are sometimes sold, depending on the pharmacy.
  • Pharmacists usually speak good English, making it easy for expats to explain their medication needs. Oman has a well-functioning ambulance system, managed by the Ministry of Health. In case of emergency, you can call 9999 to reach an ambulance.
  • In addition to the government-owned ambulances, private ambulance services are available for faster or more specialized care, at an additional cost.
Back to top

How does the public healthcare system work in Oman?

  • The quality of public healthcare in Oman is excellent and is regularly inspected by the Ministry of Health. There are modern hospitals with advanced equipment and a strong focus on preventive care.
  • Public healthcare is not accessible to all expats. Public healthcare is free for all residents of Oman and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and expats working for the government.
  • Other expatriates often do not have access to free public healthcare, and must rely on private healthcare. Public hospitals are available, but they have to pay extra.
  • Free healthcare covers all primary care, specialist appointments, and almost all necessary medical treatments. Doctors generally speak good English due to their education abroad or because they are expats themselves.
Back to top

How does the private healthcare system work in Oman?

  • Expats therefore usually rely on private hospitals and clinics. These institutions have shorter waiting times and modern facilities, but are more expensive. Therefore, having comprehensive health insurance is essential for expats.
  • The capital Muscat has many large and good hospitals.
  • Medical clinics, hospitals and pharmacies can be found everywhere. Not all medication is easily available.
  • Since 2023, Oman has been introducing the Unified Health Insurance Policy, also known as Dhamani. This is a mandatory private health insurance, separate from the public system, which provides basic coverage for, among other things, doctor's visits, medical treatments, outpatient services and hospital admissions up to a certain limit.
  • Under this introduction, employers in the private sector are obliged to take out private health insurance for their employees. Check the coverage carefully, especially for major medical procedures. Many expatriates still have their own private insurance.
Back to top

How is the general practitioner arranged in Oman?

  • In Oman, GPs are available in both public and private clinics.
  • Expats often choose private clinics, because they offer more flexibility.
  • You do not always have to register with a specific GP; walk-in appointments are common in private clinics.
Back to top

How is the dentist arranged in Oman?

  • Both public and private dental care are considered good.
  • For long-term stays, additional insurance that covers dental care is recommended.
Back to top

How is pregnancy care arranged in Oman?

  • Oman offers excellent maternity care in both public and private hospitals.
  • Most births take place in hospitals, but home births are also possible.
  • Many expats choose private care because of the luxurious facilities and personal attention.
  • Breastfeeding is strongly encouraged in Oman. Public breastfeeding is permitted, but women usually do so discreetly due to cultural sensitivities.
  • Abortion is not permitted in most cases and there is a general opposition to abortion for cultural and religious reasons.
  • Women working in the private sector are entitled to 50 days of maternity leave.
