Frequently asked questions

While both insurance products cover unlimited number of trips in a period of insurance, a multi-trip travel insurance usually has a shorter duration limit for each trip (not more than 100 days), while for Overseas StudySurance, the duration of each trip can be more than 100 days provided that it is within the period of insurance. Besides, there are many benefits specially designed to support studying overseas, such as irrecoverable school fees protection, education fund, coverage for student taking internship or part-time job (non-manual employment only) during the study trip, which are not offered by the multi-trip travel insurance.

Overseas StudySurance offers worldwide coverage in which internships arranged or endorsed by the overseas education institution and incidental travels during the study trip outside Hong Kong SAR will be covered. We also cover overseas non-manual part-time job including and not limited to office clerk, waiter, bartender, barista, and cashier. However, manual work which is not reasonably expected in such non-manual employments will not be covered.

For example, the accidental injury would not be covered by the policy if it is caused by the insured student who was helping in the kitchen during the part-time employment as a cashier in a café. Manual employments including but not limited to delivery worker, cook, cleaning worker, car repair, fitness trainer, yoga instructor, lifeguard, and farmer are not covered under Overseas StudySurance.

We provide comprehensive coverage even under a pandemic such as COVID-19; however, there are some exclusions that we would like to draw your attention to:

- Trip cancellation under red or black outbound travel alert for the reason of a pandemic is not covered.

- Medical expenses and worldwide emergency assistance service are also not covered if a claim is due to a vaccine-preventable disease, where (i) you fail to obtain the related vaccine and (ii) such vaccine is mandatorily required by the government(s) of Hong Kong SAR and/or the country/region you are travelling to/from during the study trip.

AXA will pay benefits of Section 1.3 Parent Annual Leave Compensation, Section 1.7 Compassionate Cash, Section 2 Personal Accident, Section 3.6 School Closure Allowance and Section 6.1 (a) Travel Delay independent of your other insurance policy insured for the same study trip.

For the sections not mentioned above, AXA will only be liable for amounts not recoverable from such other insurance and will not pay more than it's share. The coverage under this policy shall apply only as excess and in no event as contributing insurance, and then only after all other insurance has been exhausted.
