Can I extend/renew/buy new travel insurance from outside India?

[Sudheer]

Last year, I have had bought a travel insurance plan in India, which is now going to expire on 30th September. As my stay is now extended, I would like to renew/extend/buy new my existing plan for next 6 months. Could you please let me know, if it is possible?

Additional points:
1- I am in Sydney, Australia.

2- Initially came on student visa and now converted to work visa.
3- No claim till now.

Your chances of renewal of existing policy is more, please check terms and condition of existing policy.

The only issue is change in the Visa Status.

I have bought ICICI Lombard's Student Medical Insurance, if that helps in answering in my queries.

Hi,
You can renew your travel insurance from the existing company itself i.e. from India. You can contact their customer care for further assistance

Thanks
