International Health Insurance plans to obtain temporary visas around the world
If you're thinking about obtaining a temporary visa and moving abroad for a few months, you'll have to get a health insurance plan with international coverage.
Why is it required and recommended to have an international health insurance?
Even though there are differences in terms of the requirements regarding health insurance in different countries, it is always recommended to have one if you are going to live outside your country of origin. Why? Here are two good reasons:
➡️The healthcare system can be quite different to the one you're used to, and health related expenses can be much higher.
➡️Not showing proof of health insurance can be a cause of denial when entering a country.
