Visitors Insurance for Australians Forum

Hello,
Dear AVI,

I'm currently in China and I'm 26 years old. I'm a Australian citizen and I plan to travel to USA at the end of June. If you could please help that would be grateful.

Thanks
Sudha

Dear Sudha,

Thank you for contacting us at American Visitor Insurance for your Visit USA travel insurance needs!

Here is an excellent comprehensive plan Visit USA from Travel Insurance Services. This plan does not have any restrictions with any state in US. This plan works as a visitor plan for Non US Citizens, permanent residents, Green Card holders.

This plan has an optional benefit of covering hazardous sports activity which makes it an excellent option for customers interested in hazardous sports. This plan provides coverage for motocross racing which is one of the highly requested activity for coverage. Australian citizens can purchase the plan, but they have to provide a non-Australia mailing address. The billing address and the citizenship can be Australia.

To get quote and purchase this plan, please visit the below link:

Hi Dear,

I tried going to link like you said in this email to get a quote but after filling out form i keep getting this email:

"We are sorry, but we are unable to process your request:
Please contact us regarding alternate plans that may be available to you."

Can you please help me!

Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,

I'm not sure what that error message is referring to. I know that persons in Australia and Canada are not able to purchase this plan while physically located in those countries.

If this applies to you, you can make your purchase once you reach the States. I am sorry for any inconvenience. If this is not your situation, please tell me from where you are attempting the purchase, your age and details and I can look into the matter further.

Hi Dear,

I think i have sorted my original problem. I can find on the website though a link to definitions of words used by USA health care. I would like to know all the definitions of the hazard sports defined in USA health care and i would also like to know all the reasons and actions that would cause my insurance to become void.

Thank you for your time Tim

Hi Tim,

This link shows all the details of the plan. In general sports participation is covered as long as it is not done professionally or against advice from local authorities (closed ski slopes, etc). However, please read details for full explanation:

Hi Dear,

Sorry I'm still a little confused? With extra sports coverage am i covered if i choose the extra coverage and if i hurt my self participating in parachuting, skydiving, paragliding, hand gliding, base jumping, etc etc I will be covered as long as I'm doing that sport as a profession (being paid a wage etc)? I also would like to know will this insurance will just cover me for USA or will it cover me for Canada and South America etc? and i would also like to know will my insurance be exempted if i was to get hurt while trespassing (say i was lost etc and was on someones farm etc) and also how long does it take for the certificate be sent to my address in China?

Thank you this should be the last of my questions

Hi Tim,

The sports coverage is only if you are NOT doing it professionally. Diplomat America is for coverage in the US and elsewhere. The Visit USA policy will cover you outside Australia and China (since these are your home countries).

Generally, insurance will not cover you if you are committing a crime (felony or more serious crime); however, accidentally landing on someone's farm is probably not enough to get your coverage removed unless it was on purpose for some other criminal reason.

You can read details and definitions of coverage here:

Visit USA Brochure

Once you complete your purchase online you will immediately get a confirmation email with all of your insurance documents which you can print out and have available. Companies prefer not to mail to foreign addresses due to lengthy and sometimes uncertain arrival.

You may be able to pay extra for expedited arrival of mail if this is important to you. However, the documents you receive in electronic form are considered official and can be used to access your insurance should you need to.
