Student Health Insurance
Starting from Academic Year 2022 onwards, the university will implement a new policy for mandatory health insurance for all international students throughout the 5 PSU
campuses. All international students are required to have basic health insurance coverage to be able to register for classes. Students can purchase a health insurance plan from any private insurance companies in Thailand or from home country, as long as the insurance coverage is valid to be used in Thailand.
Read the official University Announcement here.
Students can also purchase health insurance plan through the university. For more information on health insurance plans and application form, please contact IAC.
To validate your health insurance, go to https://hif.psu.ac.th/. Log in the system using your PSU Passport. Read the guideline on how to use the system here. Make sure to fill out all information correctly in the system, especially your valid email address. You will receive a notification when your health insurance has been accepted or rejected. If rejected, please read the rejection reason(s) carefully before resubmitting.
Student Accident Insurance
Group accident insurance is provided by Muang Thai Life Assurance (https://www.muangthai.co.th/en) for all full-time PSU Phuket students. Special courses students or exchange students may not be entitled to this insurance as they may be covered by their home university or have personally purchased it.
The Student Affairs Office will automatically apply for the group accident or renew it at the beginning of Semester 1 after the student registration in the PSU Student System has been completed. For any inquiries, contact Student Affairs officer Ms. Waewta Intarachit at: [email protected].
