General information on safety
precautions
The DAAD's advice explains which precautionary measures
you need to take when preparing for a stay abroad and
which addresses can help you in case of problems.
Travel and safety advice from the
Federal Foreign Office
The information ranges from safety and travel warnings,
nature and climate to entry and customs regulations as
well as health protection.
Insurance Coverage
Health insurance for travel
abroad
Coverage under the European Health Insurance Card or
private insurance may be insufficient, especially if
repatriation or special medical procedures are
required.
Travel medical
precautions
The shortness of a stay abroad tempts one to be
careless in preparation and on the road, but even if
the short duration of the trip makes e.g. vaccinations
seem disproportionate, they are still important in
individual cases.
Personal liability and accident
insurance
Liability insurance covers damage caused during a stay
abroad. Accident insurance covers one's own injuries
caused by, for example, commuting accidents.
