Travel Requirements

Please note the following MIIS travel requirements for your upcoming trip to China.

Travel Registration and Insurance Requirements

  1. Fill out the Travel Registration form (go.miis.edu/travel). Some of you who have used this form before for other types of practica only have to change the dates (approximate time to complete: five minutes). Others will have to follow the instructions on the site (approximate time to complete: 10 minutes).  Please make sure that the “received” box next to the “Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks and Release Agreement” is checked when done, as this shows completion.
    1. Please use only Chrome or Firefox as your web browser when registering your travel.
    2. This travel form includes a liability waiver and automatically adds you to the Global Rescue Security evacuation plan for Middlebury.
    3. All MIIS students are provided security evacuation and medical consultation services through Global Rescue. In case of emergency, you can contact Global Rescue directly at 1-617-459-4200 (operations@globalrescue.com).
  2. Proof of Medical Evacuation Plan and Coverage Abroad (only necessary for those NOT on the MIIS student medical insurance AND you only need to give, along with your phone number, written confirmation that you have said insurance. No need to provide copies of anything.)
    1. If you are not on the MIIS student insurance available through MIIS, your medical insurance policy should cover you abroad and include at least 500,000 USD in medical emergency evacuation coverage and 50,000 USD in repatriation.  iNext, World Nomads, and AON are just a few international medical insurances and medical evacuation plans that have offered rates as low as $50 USD per month.  We recommend enrolling in a program designed for Middlebury/MIIS students through HTH Worldwide.
