What are the risks of working at an international organization and an NGO abroad, and are you insured against those risks? 

What are the risks of working at an international organization abroad, and what happens with some regularity:
  • that you work in countries with increased security risks such as political unrest, violence or instability.
  • that you run health risks due to tropical diseases, limited medical facilities or high healthcare costs.
  • that you travel to remote or risky areas where the risk of accidents may be greater.
  • that your income can be uncertain when projects stop or financing disappears.
  • that local working conditions can be challenging due to infrastructure, climate or limited resources.
  • that there is a lot of stress: due to responsibility, cultural and linguistic problems, no valid work permit.
  • that the workload and emotional burden are high: due to long days, intense projects or intensive supervision.
  • that accidents happen: with consequences such as bites, fractures, back problems or expensive rescue situations.
  • When you work for an international organization or an NGO, you may run more financial or legal risks as soon as you start carrying out work under your own responsibility. It is advisable, as far as possible, to also inquire to what extent your local employer is sufficiently insured against accidents, technical errors or incorrect assessments. Obviously this is not the case everywhere, or cannot be found out in advance. Take this into account as much as possible when deciding whether to carry out certain risky work.
Are you insured while working at an international organization or NGO abroad?
  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when working abroad.
  • Local employers generally offer limited or no supplementary insurance.
  • During work, internships, or volunteering abroad where you receive compensation or a salary, your own health insurance coverage in your home country may lapse. See the pages on: insuring paid work, internships, or volunteering abroad.
  • See also: insurance for working at an international organization for paid work, for internships and for volunteer work abroad.

  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
