Contingency Plan
Should a crisis situation arise, BAS has an overall contingency plan. For stays abroad, separate instructions apply for teachers and students. It must be read before departure. Furthermore, an information form must be completed and submitted. Here, the teacher is responsible for ensuring that this is done.
Remember good travel insurance and possibly contents insurance. You must also have your European Health Insurance Card with you. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like all Norwegians staying abroad to register on Reiseregistrering.no
Sjømannskirken’s Emergency APP is very wise to download. Here is information about local emergency services, embassies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, insurance companies and more. Also available offline.
For longer study stays abroad, one should consider enrolling in ANSA (Association for Norwegian Students Abroad) They offer good insurance packages.
