Challenges for Obtaining Africa Expat Insurance:

  • Limited coverage options in local markets – expatriates in Africa are often faced with the inability to source adequate health and life coverage from most countries in the region as plans are set up for local nationals.
  • Higher premiums – there is a risk perception from insurers that Africa is a riskier environment, and in actual reality, it is. Many African countries have limited medical facilities, instability, security and corruption concerns and a higher prevalence of severe diseases. Our company is used to dealing with expats in Africa and can source very competitive rates.
  • Local regulations – Some expats may face difficulties in ensuring that their insurance plans meet the necessary legal requirements, adding an extra layer of complication to the process.
  • Limited infrastructure – It is widely known that remote areas may lack proper medical facilities, making it crucial for expats to have insurance that covers medical evacuation. Obtaining African expat insurance that offers comprehensive coverage for such services may be challenging, but not for our firm.
