Ask HN: Is there any good global health insurance for nomads?
Insurance is a difficult market to find honest reviews. In past I just followed a rule to buy insurance in a country of residence, but today my situation is little more difficult since I have Russian passport. I left when war began, not going back there and I have no idea where I gonna live in 3 months. Unfortunately option of using insurance from a credit card company or a bank wont work for me even though I have UK bank account. Sadly their insurance only work for UK residents.
This is why I decided to ask about it on HN. I sure some digital nomads out there likely had some experience with health and travel insurance while having vague residency.
PS: For now I do work full time for a small company based in Estonia (founder is in Switzerland) so if someone know of options that my company can pay for this also gonna be useful.
- churchill 4y agoHave you tried out Safetywing? Seems they solve exactly this.
- SXX 4y agoI already checked several different providers including Safetywing and Allianz since they supposed to work for my situation. Unfortunately feedback on all insurance providers I can find is rather negative and hard to verify. So I really hope to at least find someone with real experience using any of them. I specifically choose not to post providers I found so far as not to make it look like ads.
- SXX 4y agoAlso Safetywing for instance ask me not just about citizenship, but about "home country". I guess for now I legal resident of Turkey, but it unlikely that I'll remain resident here.
- throwmeup123 4y agoIn legal terms your "home country" is defined as the country in which you were born regardless of the present country of residence and citizenship.
- SXX 4y agoUnfortunately in Safetywing terms it sounds like residency, but in very unclear terms: > Home Country means the country where you principally reside and receive regular mail.
