Mauritius Expat Insurance & Healthcare Options
Expat Financial, a division of TFG Global Insurance Solutions Ltd, can easily obtain coverage for expatriates in Mauritius. Our staff has the necessary knowledge to provide you with complete insurance coverage. Proper coverage will protect your expat staff posted in Mauritius and other African countries.
Expats living in Mauritius have several insurance options to consider, ranging from health and life coverage to property and liability protection. Given the island’s unique healthcare system and financial landscape, choosing the right insurance is crucial for a secure and comfortable residency on the island.
Healthcare – Mauritius has both public and private healthcare facilities, but the public system may not meet the standards expected by most expats. Most experts agree that private health insurance is highly critical. Many expats will secure a local plan, but those needing a more global healthcare landscape will contact us to discuss more international providers like Cigna. Key considerations include inpatient and outpatient coverage, emergency evacuation, and repatriation services.
Life insurance – to protect your loved ones, this is essential for expats. Both international and local insurers offer term life and whole life policies, ensuring financial protection for families in case of an unexpected event. If you can retain your policy from your home countries, depending on international coverage terms, that is your best option. Also consider disability coverage as protecting your income while working on the island as a foreigner is also essential.
Vehicle and Liability – While we don’t source this coverage, it is a key component of any global citizen living on Mauritus. Most expats can choose between third-party liability (the minimum legal requirement) and comprehensive coverage, which includes theft, accidents, and damages.
Finally, if you are just going to Mauritus for a short time period and maintaining healthcare back home, make sure you are covered by a travel medical insurance policy.
