Overview

When more than one person needs OVHC, the appropriate membership depends on who needs to be insured and each person’s visa and health-cover requirements. NIB offers overseas visitor cover options that can be quoted for different household compositions.

Who needs to be included

Check the visa grant or application requirements for the primary visa holder and each accompanying family member. Do not assume one person’s policy automatically covers everyone.

Compare household options

When getting a quote, enter the correct people requiring cover and compare the resulting product and premium with your actual visa circumstances.

Children and newborns

If your family circumstances change, contact nib promptly to understand how a newborn or dependant can be added and when cover should commence.

Important: Benefits vary by product and can change. Check the current NIB product information and your policy before treatment or purchase.

Check NIB cover

Use the relevant NIB quote journey and confirm the cover suits your visa and healthcare needs.
