Students who are studying in Finland or are planning to in the near future will need to meet certain requirements when it comes to purchasing their Finland Travel Insurance. The Finnish Government regulates international students who will be studying in Finland to have the following insurance requirements met with their plan:

• International students studying in Finland for less than two years must have a plan that includes coverage up to €100,000
• International students studying in Finland for a minimum of two years will need insurance coverage up to €30,000

Finland travel insurance plans that meet these requirements and have a $0 or $100 deductible are usually considered favorable and approved by the Finnish government.

International students studying in Finland now have a new plan option that allows them to purchase coverage that will meet the Finnish requirements and pay in Euros: the Europe Travel Insurance Plan. To give you an idea on how this plan will work for you, if you will be an international student in Finland for three years, the Europe Travel with €40,000 coverage and a €0 deductible/excess would meet your Finnish government requirements. If you will be an international student in Finland for only one or two years, the Europe Travel has €400,000 in coverage and a €0 deductible, which meet the Finland travel insurance government requirements.

The benefit amounts included in this plan are listed in Euros which takes the guess work out of converting different currencies. Also, this plan can be purchased for 365 days and give an individual a credit card or bank transfer payment option.

This Finland Travel Insurance plan will not only meet the government guidelines, but is easy on the student budget as well:

• €40,000 in coverage is only €0.54 per day (under age 29)!
• €400,000 in coverage is only €0.74 per day (under age 29)!
