Health insurance for the Barbados Welcome Stamp visa

Cigna Healthcare (Cigna Global Insurance Company Limited) · International health insurance

Cigna Global is a genuine international health plan (Silver $1M / Gold $2M / Platinum unlimited) sold worldwide with no upper age limit and renewable annually, so it satisfies Barbados's demand for long-term/residency health insurance (not short-term travel cover) for the full 12-month Welcome Stamp; Barbados publishes no minimum, so all tiers clear.

• ✓ Three core tiers with annual maximums of $1M/€800k (Silver), $2M/€1.6M (Gold) and paid-in-full with no overall cap (Platinum)
• ✓ No upper enrollment age (18+); insurer states it does not terminate policies based on age
• ✓ Modular design: outpatient, evacuation & crisis assistance, health & wellbeing, vision & dental can be added; deductibles ($0-$10,000) and cost shares (0-30%) reduce the premium

Foyer Global Health S.A. (Foyer Group, Luxembourg) · International health insurance

Foyer Global Health is a full international health plan with unlimited inpatient cover, worldwide (Region 1) or worldwide-ex-US, running a full year and renewable — the residency-style health insurance Barbados requires; its only exclusion (US permanent residents not insurable) is irrelevant to someone moving to Barbados.

• ✓ No overall annual or lifetime limit on core medical cover in all three plans; unlimited inpatient benefits confirmed on the official plan comparison
• ✓ Insurer FAQ explicitly confirms cover in the home country as well as the country of expatriation; worldwide or worldwide-ex-USA regions
• ✓ Luxembourg-regulated insurer (Foyer Group); 24/7 medical assistance, evacuation, teleconsultation and second medical opinion included in all plans

APRIL International Care France (health risk insured by Groupama Gan Vie; assistance/personal liability by CHUBB European Group SE) · International health insurance

APRIL MyHealth International is a worldwide international health plan ($500k to unlimited) with 100% hospitalisation and evacuation, qualifying as the long-term/residency health cover Barbados mandates for the entire Stamp; only the max-age-74 ceiling could exclude older applicants.

• ✓ Four plan tiers with annual limits from EUR/USD 500,000 (Explore) up to unlimited (Extensive/Elite; capped at EUR/USD 2M-4M for treatment in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, USA)
• ✓ Enrollment from age 10 up to 74 in most countries; one-year contract with automatic renewal
• ✓ Hospitalisation, medical evacuation and cancer treatment at 100% on all tiers, with hospital direct billing and free unlimited 24/7 telehealth (Teladoc)

Care Concept AG (Bonn, Germany) · Long-stay travel insurance

Care Concept Care Expatriate is a worldwide long-stay expat product that runs the full 12 months and is marketed as authority-recognised with >EUR 30k cover, but because it is a travel/expat-type policy rather than a classic residency health plan, acceptance under Barbados's 'no short-term travel insurance' rule should be confirmed against the AVB conditions before relying on it.

• ✓ Contract terms from 3 months up to 5 years; max entry age 74 (Care Expatriate); Germans/Austrians abroad can re-extend repeatedly until their 74th birthday
• ✓ Home-country visits insured: 30 (Basic) / 45 (Comfort) / 90 (Premium) days per insurance year
• ✓ Official insurer FAQ states products generally meet Schengen visa requirements; instant online confirmation issued at booking and products are recognized by German authorities (>EUR 30,000 coverage)

SafetyWing (underwritten by SafetyWing Insurance I.I., Puerto Rico; Complete health portion by VUMI Group I.I.) · Nomad subscription

SafetyWing's Complete plan ($1.5M/yr) is full health insurance that runs the entire stay and could satisfy Barbados, but the cheaper Essential plan is a travel-medical subscription that Barbados may reject as short-term travel cover, and SafetyWing itself states it cannot guarantee any visa authority will accept it — so fit depends on plan choice and must be verified.

• ✓ Subscription model: Essential auto-extends every 28 days (5-364 days per policy) and can be bought while already abroad; coverage in 170+ countries
• ✓ No deductible on either plan; Essential also includes travel benefits (lost checked luggage, trip interruption, evacuation from local unrest)
• ✓ Complete is full health insurance (USD 1.5M/year) including routine and preventive care, mental health, cancer treatment and limited maternity; renewable for life if enrolled before age 64

Genki UG (policyholder/agent); underwritten by Squarelife Insurance AG, Liechtenstein · Long-stay travel insurance

Genki Traveler offers EUR 1,000,000 worldwide cover for up to 12 months with an immediately issued certificate, but it is classed as long-stay travel insurance, exactly the category Barbados flags as potentially not accepted (residency health insurance required), so acceptance for the Welcome Stamp needs verification.

• ✓ Up to EUR 1,000,000 medical coverage valid in every country for up to 12 months, with monthly billing and cancellation possible after the first month
• ✓ Sign-up is possible while already abroad and up to age 69; insurance certificate for visa applications and border checks is issued immediately after the first payment
• ✓ 24/7 emergency assistance (MCI Assist) with direct payment for inpatient hospital stays and no deductible on inpatient treatment
