Mandatory Insurance

For business trips outside the EU, travel insurance with the following coverage is mandatory:

  • health and accident insurance (including full or partial incapacity for work)

Travel insurance costs are reimbursed by the mdw.

Please note: If the insurance is provided through a credit card, please make sure to check in advance whether business trips are actually covered (unfortunately, this is often not the case!).
