Travel Insurance

Medical insurance covering overseas travel (while on duty), is purchased by default when submitting an online travel form (TOFES NESIOT) through TAFNIT. Yet, WSoS students and WIS Postdoctoral Fellows must ensure that this is indeed done and the proper medical coverage had been purchased for their "on duty" trip abroad.
