How to Buy Travel Insurance for Australia Trip in the Philippines

Travel insurance is now part of our travel expenses so whether we are traveling domestically or internationally, I make sure that we are protected. I experienced buying travel insurance for our Philippines, Asia, and Europe trips. For our recent Sydney trip, I also bought travel insurance even though it is not part of the Australian Tourist Visa requirements.

How to Buy Travel Insurance for Philippines Travel Only 

I read this line on one of the Australian websites that I stumbled upon while I was searching for a tourist visa application, “If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel”. And because of this, I bought travel insurance even though we don’t have a tourist visa yet. Yes. I took a risk because I want to include this on our visa application under “Evidence of Financial Status and Funding”. I searched for other travel insurance that I could buy online but I ended up with Pacific Cross again because they have family rates. The process is still the same.
