Travel and Medical Insurance for Cambodia
So, you’ve decided to head off to Cambodia to teach English. Great choice! Flight tickets, visas, accommodation, vaccinations, teaching clothes and a million other things all demand attention, but there’s another important consideration that can easily be overlooked: Travel and Medical Insurance for Cambodia.
Travel and Medical Insurance is sometimes seen as an unnecessary expense, especially by folks with a limited budget. What’s my advice? Simple: don’t leave home without it.
It’s a rookie error to assume that your teaching job in Cambodia will automatically come with medical insurance. The reality is that, in most cases, you won’t be covered unless insurance forms part of your negotiated employment package.
Travelling to Cambodia without adequate insurance can be an expensive gamble. Illness, a motorbike accident or another medical emergency can quickly result in substantial hospital and treatment costs — and you may be required to make payment before treatment is provided.
While the cost of medical care in Cambodia can be lower than in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom or the United States, quality private medical care can still be expensive. Something as unexpected as Dengue Fever, food poisoning or an accident could leave you facing a substantial bill if you don’t have appropriate medical insurance. This kind of financial burden can largely be avoided by arranging quality Travel and Medical Insurance for Cambodia before you leave home.
Partnership: AVSE-TESOL and Luma Health
AVSE-TESOL has partnered with Luma Health to provide our students with access to quality insurance cover at a competitive price. Based in Southeast Asia, Luma understands the realities of travelling, living and working in this part of the world.
Our relationship with Luma is well established. Importantly, AVSE has direct contact with the Luma team, which means we’re able to assist with communication should one of our students experience difficulties while abroad.
Luma doesn’t claim to offer the cheapest Travel and Medical Insurance on the market, and price shouldn’t be the only consideration when choosing a policy. Everyone’s circumstances are different, so take the time to consider the level of cover, exclusions, eligibility requirements and policy conditions before making a decision.
We’ve worked with Luma to identify an insurance option that may suit AVSE students travelling to Cambodia. You can find more information below and decide whether the cover is right for you.

As with any insurance product, take the time to review the level of cover, key exclusions and policy conditions. This will help you decide whether the Luma ASEAN Pass is right for your individual circumstances.
