Congratulations on sending your daughter abroad to study. The first step that you need to undertake is to fill up the proposal form for a long duration overseas insurance policy. These days insurers offer policies that are suitable for students and takes into account the longer duration of staying abroad by them. You will need to share with the insurer details of the course she is going to study, the location of the college, passport and visa to travel at the time of submitting the policy proposal. Based on these details, the insurer may ask your daughter to undergo a medical examination. Once the proposal is accepted, the policy would be issued on the payment of premium.
