you can't get travel insurance in SG unless you have some residency / passAuntieMabel wrote:I'm about to leave for a 6-9 month stint in Singapore. I've been looking at options for travel insurance to cover our trips around the region.
What's the rough cost of annual multi-trip insurance from there? And is there any firm you'd recommend? (or, conversely, suggest I steer clear of).
Annoyingly I can't get a quote online until I have a full Singapore address, which I won't have until I get there. So would appreciate your input.
Are either you or your husband qualified SCUBA divers? As Divers Alert Network (aka DAN, a non-profit org) offer very competitive insurance in parallel with membership. I paid approx S$140 last time, for annual multi-trip, 24hr helplines, everything up to global evacuation for dive medicine, and for dive-trip and non-dive trips there's what one might call 'standard holiday insurance cover' and so on.AuntieMabel wrote:I'm about to leave for a 6-9 month stint in Singapore.

Oh I have mine in electronic form so that I can access wherever and whenever I am. Just that it didn't cross my mind that volcano eruption is excluded.JR8 wrote:@ Lynx
For this reason I take a hard-copy of my travel insurance policy with me when I travel. This way I can carefully review it's terms/exclusions before I first make contact with them. Can't recall resorting to that though, but better forearmed.
I'm surprised that the volcano issue was excluded. Perhaps it falls into the black-hole category of exclusions 'Act of God'?
