Expat Insurance

Expat Insurance is absolutely critical and should be one of your top considerations when moving overseas. The majority of countries around the world do not offer expatiates free healthcare, even in emergencies, and rising medical costs around the world entail that a comprehensive international health insurance plan is a pre-requisite for anyone who is contemplating a move overseas. Such a plan is necessary to ensure adequate coverage in the event of an emergency and is it crucial that all expats and global nomads take the necessary action to ensure that their health and well-being is protected and provided for via an appropriate level of expatriate insurance.
