Hi,

This time next year assuming everything goes according to plan with exams and stuff I'll be making final preparations to come to Japan to live as an exchange student for a year at a Japanese university.

I was wondering whether anyone had an experience of Travel Insurers ex-UK who provided a reasnoable cost service with good cover in Japan and could provide any tips ?

Regards

If you’re looking for a full-on, long-term travel insurance policy (with coverage for medical expenses, property loss and all kinds of other potential troubles) from a UK insurer, you can compare prices on the following site:

When trying to choose your policy, it may be worth noting the advice in these articles:
