The insurances that expatriates need are similar to individuals living in the country but may be more complex to arrange because they are not native. There may also be specific risks for high-risk areas of the world where specialty insurance can provide coverage for war and <a href="/wiki/Terrorism" title="Terrorism">terrorism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kidnap" class="mw-redirect" title="Kidnap">kidnap</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ransom" title="Ransom">ransom</a>. </p><p>Insurance is typically arranged prior to relocating to a new country or destination. Policies will generally cover the duration of the stay and can be purchased on an annual basis. Expatriate insurance is similar to <a href="/wiki/Travel_insurance" title="Travel insurance">travel insurance</a> but will cover longer periods time and deal with more complex requirements. The most common insurance policies purchased by expatriates include <a href="/wiki/Health_insurance" title="Health insurance">health insurance</a>, <a href="/wiki/Personal_property" title="Personal property">personal property</a>, <a href="/wiki/Automobile_insurance" class="mw-redirect" title="Automobile insurance">automobile insurance</a> and <a href="/wiki/Life_insurance" title="Life insurance">life insurance</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personal_property_insurance">Personal property insurance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Expatriate_insurance&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Personal property insurance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Personal property insurance will provide coverage for valuable items. This type of cover is usually attached to a home insurance policy which will provide coverage for all "fixtures and fittings within the home" and "additional items of increased value". With a <a href="/wiki/Home_insurance" title="Home insurance">home insurance</a> policy it is possible to include specific items on a "worldwide all risks" (WWAR) basis which will protect valuables outside the home. Insurers will typically require proof of value when insuring WWAR items and the addition of these items will increase the plans premium. In the USA this type of plan is commonly referred to as <a href="/wiki/Renters%27_insurance" title="Renters' insurance">renters' insurance</a>, although the scope of these policies overseas can have much wider implications. </p><p>Home insurance is different from <a href="/wiki/Property_insurance#Fire_insurance_coverage" title="Property insurance">fire insurance</a> which protects the physical structure of the home and all rebuilding costs. Fire insurance policies are normally only obtained in the case that an individual actually owns the property and can be extended to cover "extra" or "allied perils". Extra perils can usually be added to a policy at the expense of an increased premium and can include typhoons/hurricanes/cyclones, flood damage, landslip and subsidence, and what in the USA is referred to as "an act of God". This type of insurance is highly unlikely to be needed by expatriates unless otherwise stipulated in tenancy agreements. </p><p>For individuals who are relocating overseas international transport insurance is often required. These plans are broad in their scope and if the items insured are being shipped to their destination then the policy will usually be subject to <a href="/wiki/Marine_insurance" title="Marine insurance">marine insurance</a> and maritime law. This includes all principals of <a href="/wiki/Average" title="Average">average</a>, salvage (different from the salvage found in property and auto insurance), and sue and <a href="/wiki/Tort" title="Tort">tort</a>. International transport insurance can be complicated as there are many different areas of consideration, typically an insurance company that deals with this area of insurance will have dedicated international transport specialists. </p><p>Property insurance claims can be complicated and are usually settled in the following ways: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Indemnity" title="Indemnity">Indemnity</a> - The payment of monies to the insured to cover the loss. This is also known as a "Cash payment".</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Repair" class="mw-redirect" title="Repair">Repair</a> - Payment to a repairer to fix the damaged item or property.</li> <li>Replacement - With new items, property, or items that are likely to suffer very little depreciation, the insurer may choose to simply give the insured a new item that is the same as the one that was lost. This can be beneficial to the insurer, especially if they can obtain a discount from the supplier.</li> <li>Restoration - Typically this means the restoration of the item or property to the condition that it was in immediately prior to the loss.</li> <li>New For Old - the substitution of a new item that acts the same way as the item that was lost or damaged.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="International_auto_insurance">International auto insurance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Expatriate_insurance&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: International auto insurance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Automobile primary liability (also known as third party liability) insurance is generally a required purchased in the country where the expatriate is located. Local governments often require this in order to register a vehicle. </p><p>Third party liability insurance rates may vary drastically. Shopping for competitive rates is as essential abroad as it is in the United States or Europe. </p><p>It is very difficult to transfer auto insurance from country to country. However, no claims discount (NCD) or no claims bonus (NCB) may be transferred, leading to substantial discounts for expatriates worldwide. </p><p>The main types of auto (or motor) insurance available internationally are: </p> <ul><li><i>Third party coverage</i> - Coverage for an individual's liability at law to any third parties who have died or been injured, or any damaged to property resulting from an accident.</li> <li><i>Third party fire and theft coverage</i> - The scope of cover described above with the addition of property insurance on the vehicle but only in terms of a loss resulting from fire or theft.</li> <li><i>Comprehensive coverage</i> - This has the widest scope of cover. It includes both third party, fire, and theft coverage with the addition of "all risks" insurance. Typically the premiums for comprehensive vehicle cover are the highest.</li></ul> <p>Different countries will have different requirements in regards to the minimum amount of coverage that an individual must have. These requirements are usually set forth by the country's insurance authority or regulator. In nations that where previously British colonies it is usually the case that every vehicle should be covered under a basic third-party liability plan or ACT policy. ACT insurance refers to the British <a href="/wiki/Road_Traffic_Act_1930" title="Road Traffic Act 1930">Road Traffic Act 1930</a>, which laid out the basic requirements for motor insurance at that time. ACT insurance will only cover the insured for any death or injury resulting from an accident. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="International_health_insurance">International health insurance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Expatriate_insurance&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: International health insurance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>These policies typically include worldwide medical protection and also can include evacuation services. Many of these plans have direct-pay with hospitals & global networks worldwide as well as worldwide emergency assistance to help find a facility for treatment. </p><p>An International Health Insurance policy will typically calculate premiums based on a policyholder's age, current medical history, and area of coverage, rather than on their claims history. These plans usually offer one of two areas of coverage: Worldwide; or Worldwide excluding the USA (other countries may be excluded as well). The reason for this is that medical care in the USA is the most expensive in the world, but most international insurance companies will rank countries by medical costs and have premiums adjusted accordingly. </p><p>The majority of international health insurance plans for expatriates are globally portable. This allows foreign nationals overseas to move fluidly form one country to the next without periods of no cover. For the most part, however, an international health insurance policy will not cover an individual when they have returned to their home nation ("home country coverage"), making the investment practical only if the policyholder is planning to be overseas for an extended period of time. Some policies also cover treatments in a person's home country often for a limited period of time.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

These policies are less expensive as they are time specific rather than annual policies, this allows the policyholder to specifically tailor the plan to the exact length of their trip. A majority of international travel insurance policies will also allow the policyholder to be evacuated to the nearest center of medical excellence in the event of a serious illness or injury; it is also possible to obtain repatriation coverage.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

With moratorium underwriting, applicants are not required to disclose any medical declarations, and so some pre-existing conditions may be covered; although, there are restrictions to the coverage of pre-existing conditions. New or unexpected conditions occurring after the start date are covered according to policy conditions. Full medical underwriting requires the collection of a full medical history, and usually excludes coverage of pre-existing conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-independent_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-independent-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Common_international_insurance_exclusions">Common international insurance exclusions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Expatriate_insurance&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Common international insurance exclusions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>International insurance plans and policies, regardless of their type of cover, will always include exclusions for specific "Fundamental Risks" (risks of which there is no chance of recovery).<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

These can be extremely broad or narrow depending on the type of policy or the company that has issued the insurance. It is common to find exclusions listed on a policy that have been worded "Directly Or Indirectly as a result". This means that even if the loss has occurred as an indirect case of an excluded item, the loss will not be covered in any way. It is for this reason that the insurance idea of <a href="/wiki/Proximate_cause" title="Proximate cause">proximate cause</a> becomes so important. <a href="/wiki/Underwriter" class="mw-redirect" title="Underwriter">Underwriters</a> will include exclusions to limit their risk to a specific type of loss. </p><p>A plans exclusions will always be specified in the policy schedule or attached exclusionary rider. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Expatriate_insurance&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-independent-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-independent_1-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.independent.co.uk/money/health-insurance/health-insurance-what-is-it-private-medical-insurance-why-need-a7751101.html">"What is health insurance and why do you need it?"</a>. independent. 17 July 2017<span class="reference-accessdate">.
