Before you choose expat travel insurance be sure it covers all your activities and needs. World Nomads Travel Insurance can be bought, extended and claimed online even after you've left home.

Used and recommended by Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Boot-n-All, National Geographic and others, it's available in over 150 countries and is underwritten by trusted companies like Bupa.

We think World Nomad offers some of the most flexible tourist and expat travel insurance around; we especially like that they give back to the communities YOU visit through their Footprints program. Click here to see a listing of companies that provide all other types of expat insurance.
