Please contact the embassy or consulate you plan to obtain your visa through to confirm they are in fact able to issue you a visa before submitting your application. Furthermore, some individauls might have to pay an additonal visa issuance fee depending on whether or not their nation has a reciprocity agreement with the United States. The State Department maintains Visa Reciprocity and Country Documents Finder website for people to look up their country and any possible issuance fees. Please check with your embassy or consulate to confirm fees and payment procedures before submitting your visa application. This may be achieved by purchasing either the University of Washington Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan or by providing proof of accidental injury and illness insurance that is in effect for period of their stay and that meets or exceeds the minimum benefit levels provided in the university's Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan.
Policy covers both physician and hospitalization expenses.
Benefits are payable in the United States. Students who have insurance other than the University of Washington Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan must confirm details of their policies with their insurance companies to ensure the required coverage and must request a waiver using the form on the back of this page. Please note that the insurance waiver will not be processed unless all of these conditions are satisified. Copies of the 2000-2001 Waiver Application will be sent to all of the TAT students. Students should fill out the waiver and bring it with them to Seattle to be filed at the International Services Office if they do not plan on purchasing the UW insurance plan.
