I did search, but I'm not renowned for my ability to use website search functions. I've read before on here about a company which does insurance for expats in case their family back home becomes ill. I've googled, but can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and what the company is called?

Many thanks in advance

Hi, if you just type "insurance for expats" into Google, numerous options come up.

Thanks for your reply. You're right, they do. This was one particular company I wanted however - it's been mentioned on here a few times and they deal exclusively with getting people home in emergencies.

It's called "repatriation insurance". The company that's been mentioned on BE before is "Kinsure":

Just make sure you read the small print before signing up with anyone. It is only for very specific relatives, who must be below a certain age, and not have pre-existing conditions.
