Life Insurance for Expats

Living abroad comes with adventure and opportunity—but also responsibility. One of the most overlooked essentials for expats is life insurance. Whether you’re working overseas, retiring in the sun, or raising a family abroad, life insurance can protect your loved ones financially should the unexpected happen. But here’s the catch: getting life insurance as an expat is no longer as simple as it once was.

Why Life Insurance Is Crucial for Expats

  • Financial protection for your family in your new country or back home.
  • Cover debts, mortgages, or business interests abroad.
  • Ensure education and living expenses for your children if something happens to you.
  • Comply with residency, visa, or relocation requirements that may mandate cover.
No matter where you are in the world, your family’s financial stability shouldn’t be left to chance.

Life Insurance for Expats Is Getting Harder to Find

In recent years, several life insurance providers have pulled their expat-focused products from the market. Whether due to regulatory changes, increased underwriting risk, or shifting business models, this trend has made it significantly more difficult for expats to find:
  • Reliable, long-term life cover
  • Policies that accommodate overseas residency
  • Competitive pricing and underwriting flexibility
If you’ve recently tried applying, you may already know how frustrating and disheartening the process can be.
