Expatriate health insurance
Expatriate insurance policies are designed to cover financial and other losses incurred while living and working in a country other than one's own.
Insurance should be arranged prior to relocating to a new country or destination or within 3 months of your arrival in Switzerland. Policies will generally cover the duration of your stay and can be purchased on an annual basis.
The Expatriate plan can be very appropriate for you :
