Health insurance guide
Long-stay expats need a coverage strategy — local plans, international policies, or travel insurance with limits. We outline categories to research, not which policy to buy.
Coverage categories
International health plans, local private insurance, and country-specific public options each have tradeoffs for residency length, pre-existing conditions, and evacuation.
Questions to ask
What is covered in your target country? Are pre-existing conditions excluded? Does the policy require you to maintain a home-country residence? What is the claims process abroad?
Planning estimate
Budget a monthly insurance line item in our calculator. Verify policy terms with licensed brokers or insurers — not blog summaries.
