Insurance
A good insurance policy is essential when you travel to Japan with AtSkool for a high school program, language trip, or study experience. AtSkool helps you prepare well for your journey so you can enjoy your time abroad without worries. That’s why it’s important to be properly insured for medical care, accidents, liability, and, if necessary, repatriation.

AtSkool provides clear advice on which insurance policies are required or recommended for your stay in Japan, and where you can easily arrange them. This ensures you are well covered and can travel with peace of mind.
Important: Since Japan is located outside Europe, your Dutch health insurance does not offer full or adequate coverage for a longer stay or study program. Medical treatment, hospital care, specialist services, or emergency transportation back to the Netherlands can be costly. Some programs or educational institutions in Japan may also require specific types of additional insurance.
A specialized student or travel insurance policy often provides broader and more suitable coverage. AtSkool therefore advises you to carefully check what your current insurance does and does not cover, and to take out supplementary insurance if needed. This helps you avoid unexpected expenses and ensures you are fully prepared for your AtSkool program in Japan.
