This article explains travel health insurance.

📆 Period of cover

  • Standard cover: Mostly between 31, 45, or 90 consecutive days.
  • Long-stay cover: Mostly up to 18 months. Genki Explorer covers 2 years.
  • Extension: Many insurance providers allow an extension of one month or more. It differs greatly among the different insurance providers.

🚧 Inflexible travel itinerary

Many insurance companies ask for the exact travel itinerary. But, digital nomads travel spontaneously and often don't know where they will end up 3 months from now. Occurring problems for nomads are:

  • Nomads usually don't know their entire travel itinerary.
  • Nomads travel spontaneously and want to keep bookings flexible.
  • Traveling nomads want to stay flexible in extending their travels.

Tip: Do you have travel insurance with your credit card company? If yes, check the policy, if it comes with long-stay coverage.
