NON RESIDENT & 457 VISA TRAVEL INSURANCE

WHY BUY NON RESIDENT COVER

• What types of non-residents does Zoom cover?

• Whether you're a permanent resident visa holder, on a partner visa, student visa, TSS visa or 457 sponsored visa we don't mind.  As long as you are temporarily travelling overseas and at the date your certificate of insurance is issued you are:
  
  -aged 74 years and under; and
  -hold a return ticket to Australia; and
  -have a home in Australia to which you intend to return; and
  -hold a valid visa or permit which provides access to all publicly funded health and disability services in Australia or you have private health insurance that adequately covers you and any dependants travelling with you for the entire duration of your policy and for the rest of your stay in Australia. 
  
  *Please note we do not cover those in Australia on holiday, who are on a tourist visa who are travelling temporarily overseas.
