Well-prepared for your journey!
Has your city trip to New York been booked yet? Do you enjoy backpacking through the Rif Mountains in Morocco? Are you an avid skier or are you just going to relax in Bali for a week? In order to be able to travel with peace of mind, it is best to check the following in advance:
- Do you have the passports of all family members?
- What about an international driving licence?
- Did you receive your vaccinations for the country in question?
- Is your travel pharmacy complete?
- Does your health insurance fund provide an intervention if you need medical care abroad? To consult the list of countries with which the health insurance fund has concluded an agreement, it is best to contact them directly.
- Do you have private travel insurance?
- In the event of illness or breakdown, is there an intervention from your collective hospitalisation insurance or does your employer provide an additional Assi-Link or Assi-Link+ insurance?
