01

Check residency eligibility

Tell the insurer your country of residence, citizenship, travel plans, and where you expect to receive care. Availability and terms vary.

02

Confirm the practical details

Ask about documentation, medical tests, payment options, geographic cover, and the process for claims from abroad.

The details to put side by side.

Cover amount

List the financial commitments your family would need to meet.

Policy duration

Check the age at which cover ends and the premium-payment period.

Disclosures

Answer the insurer’s medical, occupation and lifestyle questions accurately.

Nominee and claims

Keep nominee details current and share claim contacts with your family.

AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Start with the responsibilities.

A family with a home loan and a child’s future expenses will have different commitments from someone without financial dependants. List those commitments before comparing cover amounts.

Bring these to your conversation.

  • Your existing life-cover details, if any.
  • A list of dependants, debts and future commitments.
  • Questions about policy duration, premium payments and optional riders.
  • Any application or policy wording you would like explained.
