Genki Native is an International health insurance that can offer you life-long coverage as there is no maximum time limit for the contract.

Payments are charged monthly by credit or debit card and the minimum insurance period is 12 months.

After the minimum insurance period of 12 months, it's possible to request the cancellation of the insurance on a monthly basis.

Every country in the world is covered, there are no exceptions. Yes, even countries with travel warnings.

There is no maximum limit for the amount of time you can stay in any country abroad. You can stay and be covered in any country abroad as long as you keep the insurance active without ever needing to go back to your home country.
