To get student travel insurance for the USA from India, you typically need to be aged 16 to 40, hold an admission letter from a US university, apply from your place of origin and disclose any pre-existing health conditions. Insurers may add their own conditions.
If you are an Indian citizen heading to the USA for a Bachelor's or Master's degree, you would need travel insurance. A few basic requirements apply before you can avail the benefits.
