Tools we recommend
Running your life across more than one country adds friction that single-country residents don't have to think about. These are the tools we recommend to readers thinking about relocation, residency arbitrage, or part-year stays.
We only list tools we have reason to recommend to the audience we write for. We disclose affiliate relationships where they exist (see our Disclosure page), and we don't accept payment to list a tool. If something stops working well for our audience, it comes off this page.
Health insurance for cross-border living
SafetyWing
Designed for: individuals and families moving countries, between residencies, or spending part of the year outside their primary residence country.
SafetyWing's main consumer product is Nomad Insurance, a global medical and travel policy for individuals and families, available at two tiers (Essential and Complete). It's designed for people whose residency and location change frequently.
Public health systems in most countries take months to complete your enrolment, don't cover you fully when you're abroad, and don't cover short-term stays before you've committed to residency. That gap is what Nomad Insurance fills.
For readers who run small international teams, SafetyWing also offers Remote Health, a single group policy covering team members and contractors across 175+ countries. This is a company product, not individual coverage.
TaxWorld reader bonus: Sign up for Nomad Insurance Essential using code THETAXWORLD at checkout and get 8 weeks of electronic theft coverage free.
