🏆 Our top pick for Southeast Asia-based expats

If you are based in Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines or elsewhere in Southeast Asia and do not regularly need healthcare in the US or Europe, Pacific Cross offers the best combination of regional coverage depth, direct billing and price competitiveness for most expats in the region.

Pacific Cross — why it works for Southeast Asia

Pacific Cross was founded in Asia and has operated in the region for decades. Its hospital network is deeply integrated with major private hospitals in Thailand (Bumrungrad, Samitivej, Bangkok Hospital Group), Singapore (Raffles, Mount Elizabeth, Gleneagles), Vietnam and the Philippines. Direct billing — where the hospital bills the insurer directly without you paying upfront — is more consistently available through Pacific Cross at these hospitals than through global providers whose regional networks are thinner.

Area of cover options: Asia only, Asia + US, Worldwide excluding US, Worldwide. The Asia-focused plans are significantly cheaper than worldwide equivalents from global providers — a major cost advantage for those who don't need US or European cover.

Thailand LTR Visa requirement

Thailand's LTR Visa requires health insurance with a minimum coverage of USD 50,000. Pacific Cross plans meet this requirement. Cigna Global and AXA International also meet it. When applying for your LTR Visa, you will need to provide evidence of valid health insurance — keep your policy documents accessible. Source: ltr.boi.go.th
