Expatriate insurance policies are designed to cover financial and other losses incurred by expatriates while living and working in a country other than one's own.
Insurance should be arranged prior to relocating to a new country or destination. Policies will generally cover the duration of your stay and can be purchased on a 6 month to annual basis. It is important to purchase this insurance from a reputable company.
The most common insurance policies purchased by expatriates include:
- Personal property
- Automobile insurance
- Personal liability insurance
- Emergency evacuation
- Medical and dental coverage
- Short-term travel insurance
In some cases, specialty insurance can be purchased for high-risk areas of the world that provide coverage for:
- War and terrorism
- Kidnap and ransom
- Casualty insurance
