International Health Insurance

Hi,


I am Leow from Malaysia will be going to Geneva in December for 7 month for working and learning purpose.


Health insurace are not cover by my employer in Swiss.


I am just wondering is it alright if I get my own international insurance from Malaysia itself before I fly to Geneva ? The insurance is  International Health Plan by AXA . 


Will I face any problem when apply for working/residence permit ?


Is there any ruling in Geneva that health insurance plan must buy in Swiss only ?


Thank you


Leow

Hi Leow,


Unless you will be working for a U.N. or other recognised International Organisation that runs their own insurance plan - you will need Swiss health insurance.  You should check with your employer.
