Studying abroad in South Africa for US students

South Africa has much to offer US students both in terms of excellent educational institutions as well as a cultural experience. There are many good colleges and Universities to choose from where English is the medium of instruction. To truly have a South African experience, students can consider one of the non-English languages like Zulu, Ndebele or Afrikaans. Outside of college, there is so much to learn about South Africa, its politics, it’s fairly recent struggle against apartheid and its ongoing effort to create the rainbow nation.

Before you start studying in South Africa – buy good student medical insurance

US students while studying in South Africa should however take care of buying good international student medical insurance which will insure them while in the country.

Insurance for International Students (F1 Visa)

International students often purchase their health insurance in the University. While this is most popular and convenient, it is often expensive.

We can facilitate getting the insurance waiver form completed if required by your college.

These plans are also available for international students with M1 Visa taking part in vocational or technical training.

Insurance coverage for F2 or J2 Visa holders

Spouse and Childrens of F1 and J1 visa holders are issued the F2 and J2 visas respectively. While J1 visa holders have insurance requirements mandated by the US consulate, given the high health care costs in the US, it is prudent for F2 and J2 visa holders to also have proper insurance coverage.

Plan options for students in OPT status

International students on the F1 visa are allowed to enroll for optional practical training(OPT). This allows students to work off campus, or work without being enrolled for coursework in the university. Since students in this OPT visa status are not enrolled in coursework, they will be ineligible for some student insurance plans.
