Why Short-Term International Travel Insurance?

When you're moving abroad or traveling for a short time, whether for work, leisure, or an expat assignment, ensuring you have the right health coverage is essential. Pacific Cross offers three short-term travel insurance plans under our Bon Voyage Plan, tailored to provide you with flexible and comprehensive coverage during your time overseas.

What is Short-Term International Travel Insurance?

Short-term international health insurance is designed to provide medical coverage for individuals and families staying abroad for less than a year. If you're temporarily working, living, or traveling overseas, this type of insurance ensures that you have access to quality healthcare while away from home.

Pacific Cross's Bon Voyage Plan offers coverage for various situations, whether you are a digital nomad, on a work secondment, or an expat just getting settled in a new country. What makes our plan unique is that it’s available to any passport holder, not just based on nationality—our focus is on your country of origin, making it more accessible to a wider range of people.

Who is This Plan Suitable For?

• Digital Nomads: If you're working and traveling between countries, our short-term health insurance provides the flexibility you need, without committing to a long-term plan.
• Those on Work Assignments: If you’re relocating abroad for work on a temporary basis, you can enjoy medical coverage while experiencing your host country’s culture and lifestyle.
• Frequent Travelers: Whether you’re on a gap year, taking a sabbatical, or just exploring different destinations, having short-term health insurance gives you peace of mind so you can travel freely.
• Expats: New to a country and waiting for eligibility in the public healthcare system? A short-term plan can bridge that gap, ensuring you receive comprehensive care when you need it most.

Why Should You Consider Short-Term International Travel Insurance?

Having health coverage when traveling abroad is vital, especially in a foreign country where you might not be familiar with the healthcare system. Short-term international health insurance provides several key benefits:

• Flexibility: Choose the duration of your coverage based on your travel plans, from 1 to 12 months, with the option to extend if necessary. This flexibility ensures that you're not overpaying for insurance you don't need.
• Medical Protection: Our plans cover emergency dental care, specialist treatments, hospital stays, and more—so you can get the medical attention you need without delay.
• Portable Coverage: If you're traveling across multiple countries, our short-term plans ensure that you're covered wherever you go, with access to healthcare no matter where your journey takes you.
• Emergency Evacuation: In case of medical emergencies or political unrest, our plans provide medical and non-medical evacuation, ensuring you're transported safely to a secure location.

Travel Insurance vs. Short-Term Health Insurance

While both travel insurance and short-term health insurance offer coverage for travel, they serve different purposes. Travel insurance typically covers trip-related issues such as lost luggage, flight cancellations, and minor emergencies. In contrast, short-term health insurance provides more comprehensive medical care for a longer period, especially for extended stays abroad.

Take Your Time Before You Decide

Before purchasing any insurance, it’s important to review all the options and details carefully. Pacific Cross’s Bon Voyage Plan offers various levels of coverage, so you can choose a plan that best suits your individual needs.

Whether you’re traveling for work, leisure, or a temporary stay abroad, having the right health insurance is crucial to safeguard your well-being. Contact us today to learn more about how our short-term international health insurance can support your travels.
