Under the rules of NZQA’s Tertiary and International Learners Code of Practice, all international students studying at Languages International have to have appropriate travel and medical insurance. Appropriate insurance means:
- A policy that covers you during your travel to New Zealand, your whole stay here and your travel back to your home country.
- An insurer with a credit rating no lower than ‘A’ from Standard and Poors or B+ from A M Best, and which is able to provide services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- Cover that includes at least the following types and limits:
| Events | Cover limits (New Zealand dollars) |
| Medical & Related Expenses (including Evacuation, Repatriation & Cancellation) | Unlimited |
| Luggage & Personal Effects | $15,000 |
| Missed Transport Connection | $25,000 |
| Death or Disablement by Injury | $50,000 |
| Personal Liability | $2,500,000 |
| Kidnap & Ransom | $250,000 |
| Rental Vehicle Excess | $5,000 |
