LIFE IN FOREIGN SOIL

Expatriates require a special type of insurance coverage because of their unique situation. People who live and work in a foreign land are at greater risks because of the nature of their jobs.

Depending on the peace and order situation of the country where they are, expatriates can be as vulnerable to crimes as the locals are. They may also be exposed to diseases not present in their native countries.

This situation warrants a special type of expatriate life insurance. An expatriate life insurance is tailor-made to suit the special circumstances of an expat. An expatriate life insurance is in principle the same as your normal life insurance, the only difference is that you are covered even while living somewhere else.

INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION

Another type of coverage for expatriates is the worldwide health insurance. When you are stricken with an illness while in a foreign land, it can be difficult to get the proper medical attention because your local health insurance will only provide coverage if you are stricken ill while in that particular country.

If you are covered by a worldwide health insurance, it will be recognized by top hospitals and doctors almost anywhere in the world, ensuring that you have access to quality medical care wherever your illness took place. As an expatriate, traveling to different places will be a common function of your job, thus having worldwide health insurance is a must.

The good thing about international insurance is that it does not provide any less coverage or award lesser benefits than the normal types of insurance policies. Expatriates pay almost the same premiums for the same benefits. The only difference is that international insurance policies like the expatriate life insurance and worldwide health insurance provide you with life and health coverage wherever in the world you may be.
