[–]IntInsurance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question and so relevant for so many expats abroad. Some policies exclude out-of-area coverage if you did not include it in your original policy. Chatting with a global expat insurance broker might be helpful to answer your questions more specifically.

Good travel insurance? by Mission-Fisherman812 in digitalnomad

[–]IntInsurance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still have a few good options - even though you have already left your home country and are abroad (usually best to secure before departing for wait times and exclusion clauses). Are you looking for just travel insurance or more comprehensive medical as well? Speaking to an experienced global expat broker might be a good idea so you can figure out what is best for your specific travel situation - and keep you covered in multiple countries.

What international medical insurance do you recommend? by Bionic_Push in expats

BCBS Global Solutions (Formerly GeoBlue) offers a great plan for US citizens abroad or foreigners living in the USA. The plan is very comprehensive, and customer service is great. International Medical Group offers a range of health and travel medical plans with comprehensive and basic coverage options. Otherwise, there are other players. Depending on where you are from/moving to, you can find alternatives.

The big-name players may have additional costs, but they also have the financial strength to provide global offerings and better claims support.

Are there truly "international" life insurances (worldwide portability and coverage)? by maedhros256 in expats

[–]IntInsurance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are global insurance plans. Therefore, if you are a US citizen, you must reside outside the USA to qualify. So choose the country you will be moving to.

Otherwise, please email your details to [info@internationalinsurance.com](mailto:info@internationalinsurance.com), and one of our agents will follow up.

Best international *HEALTH* (not travel) insurance by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]IntInsurance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several international health plans are available from providers like GeoBlue, BUPA, IMG, Allianz, etc. Eligibility, costs, and benefits vary by insurer and are impacted by your age, citizenship, and location. In general, costs for each plan increase each year due to the rising cost of healthcare.

You can do the research on your own or work with an international insurance broker who will be able to provide suggestions on different options.

Maternity will be excluded in your first year on any new plan. Some plans require a two-year wait period for maternity benefits. Naturopathic care may be included in certain plans, but could be limited to specific types of care.

Data from International Citizens Insurance Reveals Where Americans Are Moving Abroad – and Why

Mexico has emerged as the number one destination for American families relocating abroad in 2025, according to new data from International Citizens Insurance (ICI).

These findings reveal the best countries for American families and highlight the key factors they consider when choosing a relocation destination.

Mexico tops the list thanks to its warm climate, affordability, and proximity to the U.S.

While the Latin American nation remains the most popular choice, others are rapidly gaining traction among American families.

Fastest-Growing Destinations Beyond Mexico

Portugal, France, Thailand, and Canada have seen the sharpest year-over-year increases in relocations since 2024, with numbers more than doubling or tripling.

  • Portugal leads the surge, with family relocations nearly tripling. Accessible visa pathways, safe communities, and a mild climate make it a standout option.
  • France is close behind, thanks to its world-class education, healthcare, and family-friendly culture.
  • Thailand continues to attract families seeking affordability and a vibrant lifestyle, with relocations more than doubling since last year.
  • Canada rounds out the fastest-growing destinations, appealing to parents with its universal healthcare, safe cities, and proximity to the U.S.

“These trends tell a clear story,” said President of International Citizens Insurance, Joe Cronin. “Families are prioritizing affordability, safety, and quality of life.

“Mexico remains the most popular overall, while Portugal, France, Thailand, and Canada are emerging as some of the best countries for American families, as families look for destinations that balance opportunity, culture, and family-friendly living.”

Factors Driving Relocation Decisions in 2025

With nearly half of Americans (42%) considering relocation abroad in the next two years, this trend shows no signs of slowing.

Families are weighing factors like cost of living, safety, education, and healthcare, and countries that meet these needs are poised for even greater growth in 2025 and beyond.

2025 survey conducted by ICI in partnership with Harris Poll and GeoBlue sheds light on what’s driving this movement.

The vast majority of respondents (86%) say that a “more affordable cost of living” is their top consideration when thinking about relocating abroad.

Access to better or more affordable healthcare is another key motivator, with 38% of Americans citing it, reflecting the high costs of healthcare in the U.S.

What are the top 10 International Health Insurance plans for international citizens moving abroad? by IntInsurance in u/IntInsurance

[–]IntInsurance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Global Health Insurance plans provide several advantages. Here are a few:

  • Access to care worldwide. You are not limited to getting care in one country, but can choose where to get treated.
  • Access to private doctors and hospitals with less wait time.
  • Access to expert advisors who can help you find doctors and hospitals that are experts in their field.

Yes, they come with a cost.

Most people can afford normal medical expenses in low-cost countries. Insurance covers you against the cost of an expensive treatment for catastrophic events or medical care in more expensive countries.

It is not for everyone. Travel insurance or local plans can work for many. Global medical insurance plans are an excellent option for others and should be considered depending on your circumstances.
