Health insurance companies for British expats

Every country has different rules around health care, with some countries requiring health insurance to be in place before you arrive.

Healthcare can also be incredibly expensive, which you don't want to be added to the potential stress of an emergency where you may need to communicate in an unfamiliar language.

It's essential to ensure your health insurance is in place before you travel and also be fully aware of what you are covered for. It's unlikely that any health insurance you have in place in your home country will provide you with the necessary cover abroad.
