During sign-up you confirm your eligibility, choose the Basic Cover or Premium Cover plan, provide personal and payment details, and can add dependents as part of the flow.

Do I need to create an account to sign up for expat health insurance?

If it's your first time signing up with us, you'll be asked to create an account during the sign-up process. The account is set up as part of the sign-up flow, so you don't need to register separately beforehand.

Can I customize my expat health plan and add dependents when signing up?

Yes. During sign-up, you can choose between the Basic Cover and Premium Cover plans for expat health insurance. You can add dependents to your policy after signing up for your own policy. You can also get a quote and review the plan details before completing your purchase.

Do I need to declare pre-existing conditions when signing up for expat health insurance?

There is nothing to declare about pre-existing conditions when signing up for expat health insurance. If you later submit a claim, we will review the doctor's detailed reports related to that claim to check whether the condition existed before the policy start date, or whether the diagnosis implies a condition that would have been pre-existing.
