Hello Everyone,

 

I am a 41 year old and I have recently moved my address to Thailand and I am therefore not covered in my home country (Iceland) any more. If i plan to move back to Iceland then I will be put on a 6 month wait before I get access to the system again.

 

So, I have been trying to figure out what is the best insurance to get. And I must say... What a Jungle!!!

 

I think I will be needing a International (Global) Plan. The main reason for that, is because I am still working in Europe as a sesonal worker.

1. I plan to stay in Thailand around 4-6 months per year. My address is registered in Thailand.

2. I will be working in Norway (3-4 months per year) and in Iceland (3-4 months per year).

 

Right now I am trying to find a good Insurance provider, and I hope you guys can give me some links so that I can start comparing...

Right now I am not looking for any Brokers!

 

Please Help, I am arriving in Thailand January 3rd... I am getting nervous...

At your age there are many options. Among the popular providers of Expatriate policies are (in alphabetical order);

 

ACS

 

April Global (based in France, do not confuse with April Thailand which has different policies subject to Thai regulations)

 

AXA Global

 

Cigna Global

It is best to go through a broker, they will give you comparison charts to help you decide and also help later with claims. I use AA  www.aainsure.net
