FAQ
Is travel insurance required to study abroad?
Yes, in most cases. To obtain a student visa in many countries (the U.S., Canada, Australia, etc.), health insurance is mandatory. For Erasmus scholarships, health insurance is required. For Campus France, proof of insurance may be required. The Chapka insurance plan offered by Etudassur is designed to meet these requirements. 💡 Check the specific requirements of your destination country—some require a specific minimum level of coverage.
What does Chapka travel insurance cover for students studying abroad?
Chapka travel insurance (starting at €26/month) covers, among other things: Medical and hospitalization expenses abroad (up to €11,000) Medical repatriation and 24/7 medical assistance A visit from a loved one in the event of a long-term hospitalization Attorney fees in the event of legal proceedings abroad Cash advance in the event of document theft You can sign up directly on the Chapka website via the Etudassur links. 💡 Chapka is managed separately from Etudassur—for any questions about this policy, please contact Chapka directly through their website.
I'm an international student coming to study in France—what kind of insurance do I need?
Etudassur offers the “Come to France” insurance plan through Chapka starting at 56€/month, designed specifically for international students coming to France. It covers medical expenses and assistance, and meets the requirements of Campus France and consulates for obtaining a student visa. ⚠️ This insurance is not a home insurance policy—it does not cover your housing in France. You must purchase Etudassur home insurance separately for your residence.
Is PVT insurance suitable for a Working Holiday Visa?
Yes. The Working Holiday Program (PVT) insurance offered through Chapka (starting at €36/month) is specifically designed for Working Holiday Visas (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc.). It meets the minimum coverage requirements set by these countries for obtaining a visa. 💡 Sign up via the Etudassur links on the WHV insurance page—you’ll benefit from rates negotiated with Chapka.
Does my Etudassur home insurance also cover my Erasmus stays?
Partially. Your Etudassur MRH policy includes Travel & Stay coverage that protects your personal belongings taken with you during a stay of less than 3 months (up to €600). Personal Liability coverage also applies worldwide for stays of less than 3 months as part of your studies. However, for medical expenses abroad, you’ll need Chapka insurance. 💡 For an Erasmus program lasting more than 3 months, Chapka insurance is essential to supplement your medical coverage.
Do I need to have both home insurance AND travel insurance?
It depends on your situation: If you’re moving abroad but keeping your home in France → Yes, you need both policies: MRH covers your home, and Chapka covers your stay. If you’re permanently leaving your home to move abroad → Cancel your MRH policy and purchase only travel insurance. If you’re coming to study in France from abroad → MRH Etudassur for housing + Come to France Chapka for health coverage
Does my home insurance cover my liability while I'm doing an internship abroad?
Yes, partially. The Personal Liability coverage under your home and contents insurance policy applies worldwide for stays of less than 3 months. Damage to property entrusted to you during internships (whether paid or unpaid) is covered up to €300,000. For internships lasting more than 3 months, we recommend purchasing supplemental Chapka insurance for medical coverage and assistance.
Will my housing in France still be covered if I go abroad for an extended period?
Yes—your home insurance policy explicitly states that your home remains insured even in the event of a prolonged absence. Fire, structural damage, and liability coverage remain in effect. Please note, however, that the concept of vacancy (more than 30 days with no one in the home) may affect certain coverages in extreme cases—contact contact@etudassur.fr if you will be away for more than 3 months.
What is the difference between Chapka travel insurance and Etudassur home insurance?
These are two completely separate products: Etudassur (Hiscox) Home and Contents Insurance: covers your residence in France—fire, damage caused by water, theft, tenant liability, and personal accident. Managed by ACCS/Etudassur. Chapka Travel Insurance: covers you while abroad—medical expenses, repatriation, and assistance. Managed by Chapka. Both policies can be held simultaneously and complement each other if you are traveling abroad while keeping your residence in France.
