Read the residence definition
A policy may stop covering you once you are resident, register locally or stay beyond a stated number of days. The exclusion can sit in the definitions rather than in the marketing summary.
Check whether the policy covers the activities you actually do, any pre-existing conditions, and repatriation. Those are the clauses that decide the claim.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rely on travel insurance instead of local health cover?
Usually not for long stays. Travel cover is often trip-limited and may exclude routine care. Check what the visa and the local system require.
Does the visa require a minimum cover?
Some schemes do, including a minimum amount and cover for the whole period. Use the figure stated in the official guidance.
