| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
School insurance is only valid within the Spanish territory. When travelling abroad, students must have a European Health Insurance Card (healthcare in countries of the European Community) or the E-AND-4 if going to Andorra. These documents are issued by the National Institute of Social Security at their Information and Assistance Centres. The student must show one of his or her parent’s medical insurance cards in which he or her appears as a health insurance beneficiary. If this requirement is not met, the student can obtain a European Health Insurance Card with the enrolment receipt and a document accrediting the official study programme that he or she will undertake abroad.

Where circumstances allow students to take out insurance in their country of origin, they will be covered for the round trip.
It is extremely important to note that this is a travel insurance policy, NOT a health insurance policy, so it cannot be used as a health insurance policy for Foreign-National Identification-Number (NIE) or visa renewals while the student is studying at the University of Girona.
