Trusted Partner — Health InsuranceTravel and nomad health insurance built for Americans abroad
SafetyWing is the health insurance most U.S. digital nomads, retirees, and remote workers use to stay covered while moving from country to country. Two plans — Nomad Insurance Essential for travel, Nomad Insurance Complete for full international coverage — both subscription-style and cancellable any time.

SafetyWing fills that gap. Their Nomad Insurance Essential plan is travel-style coverage for trips and short stays, with hospital, evacuation, and emergency care wherever you go. Their Nomad Insurance Complete plan is closer to traditional international health insurance — primary care, preventive screenings, mental health, and maternity, all on a global subscription you can keep as long as you need it.

Which SafetyWing plan fits your move?
Choose Nomad Insurance Essential if you’re moving on a tourist visa, doing a multi-country exploration year, or in a transitional phase before locking in residency.
