- Quote-based
- No public price list exists; premiums are calculated per trip in the quote funnel based on country of residence, destination(s), exact trip dates and traveler age. Premiums are quoted per trip and are not published as a fixed list. Pricing is a one-off per-trip premium (extendable), not a monthly subscription; the US site also sells an Annual Multi Trip plan (annual premium).
- Maximum age
- 69
- Coverage maximum
- €10,000,000
- Home-country visits
- Not covered
- Schengen €30k compliant
- Yes
Strengths
- Can be bought or extended while already abroad (waiting period applies, e.g. 72 hours on EU policies bought mid-trip); max policy duration 12 months for EU residents
- EU-resident plans carry high emergency medical limits: 5M EUR (Standard) / 10M EUR (Explorer), incl. evacuation and repatriation
- Covers 150+ adventure sports and activities; Explorer adds more activities and higher sub-limits
- Issues insurer confirmation letters usable for Schengen visa applications (per official Schengen page; ~2-day turnaround)
Limitations
- No cover in the country of residence: cover is suspended during temporary visits home and ends on final return home (no refund of unused premium)
- Trip insurance, not health insurance: no routine/preventive care, no ongoing treatment at home, pre-existing conditions generally excluded
- Maximum purchase age varies by residence (official EU single-policy help page states 64 at issue, while EU family help, US pages and the June 2024 Collinson launch state 69); age 70+ only via US referral partner TripAssure (Silver Nomads)
- US-resident plans have far lower medical caps ($125k-$250k) than EU plans; benefits, limits and Schengen-suitability depend on country of residence
Visas this plan qualifies for
- Cape Verde Remote Working Program World Nomads provides high medical and evacuation/repatriation limits that meet Cape Verde's travel-insurance requirement, but it is sold mainly to EU/EEA/UK/US residents, so eligibility must be verified against the applicant's country of residence before relying on it.
- Curacao @HOME High medical+evacuation travel insurance that would meet the no-minimum requirement, but it is sold mainly to EU/EEA/UK/US residents, so eligibility to purchase must be confirmed for the applicant's residency before relying on it for the Curacao @HOME visa.
- Georgia Remote Trip insurance with up to 12-month policies, but it suspends cover during home-country visits.
- Indonesia E33G optional Maximum policy duration of 12 months including extensions (EU wording, EUR 5M-10M emergency medical) exactly spans the 12-month initial stay, though it is trip insurance rather than full health cover and availability/limits depend on country of residence.
- Italy DNV EU-resident plans carry EUR 5-10M emergency medical and are researched as Schengen-30k compliant, but the 12-month maximum policy duration only exactly covers the initial visa period, benefits and limits vary sharply by country of residence, and cover is suspended during home visits.
- Japan DN Emergency medical limits from USD 125,000 (US residents) up to EUR 10M (EU Explorer) all exceed the EUR 53,999 minimum and policies run up to 12 months covering the 6-month stay, but death/repatriation-of-remains cover is not stated in the facts and benefits vary materially by country of residence.
- Kenya Class N Permit World Nomads provides high-limit worldwide medical and evacuation cover that would cover Kenya, but it is sold based on country of residence (mainly EU/EEA/UK/US) and suspends cover at home, so eligibility depends on the applicant being resident in one of those markets before relocating to Kenya.
- Philippines DNV World Nomads carries high emergency-medical and evacuation/repatriation limits that would satisfy EO 86's open-ended requirement, but eligibility is tied to country of residence (mainly EU/EEA/UK/US) — qualifies only for applicants who are residents of those regions, so residency must be verified.
- Portugal D8 Schengen-compliant travel insurance with EUR 5-10M emergency medical cover for EU residents; its 12-month maximum policy duration is acceptable because the program publishes no insurance validity duration for D visas.
- Seychelles Workcation Permit World Nomads travel insurance carries high emergency-medical limits (EU Explorer EUR 10M) and covers treatment in Seychelles, but it is residency-limited (sold mainly to EU/EEA/UK/US residents) and excludes the country of residence, so eligibility for a given applicant must be confirmed before relying on it for this visa.
- Slovenia Digital Nomad Permit World Nomads EU (Standard EUR 5M / Explorer EUR 10M) clears EUR 30,000 but is sold only to EU/EEA residents and explicitly suspends cover in the country of residence, so for someone actually moving to and residing in Slovenia its validity for the entire stay needs verification.
- Thailand DTV optional Trip insurance with up to 12-month policies and EUR 5M-10M emergency medical (EU residents) covers a 6-month Thailand stay as voluntary protection, though it is trip cover rather than full health insurance.
