This page discusses expatriate property insurance and the need for expatriates who are taking an overseas work assignment to find insurance protection for all of their personal effects that are being shipped over into the host country. Expatriates should not assume their employer has insurance policies that would protect their personal effects in the host country. This is almost NEVER the case.

If you are in need of expatriate property insurance either because you WILL BE taking an expatriate assignment or you are already in the assignment, please use the link above to contact us for an immediate quote. If you are living overseas working for an employer, expat property insurance is even easier to secure because corporate expatriates are now pre-approved for almost everthing except individual valuable articles worth over $5,000 US in value.

Expatriate property insurance options should be offered by the employer before the expatriate assignment on an employee paid and elective basis. International Property Insurance makes brochures available to many multinationals so these employers can assist their employees with hard to find expatriate property insurance solutions easily secured before the international relocation.

If your employer does not recommend a provider for expatriate property insurance, expatriate liability insurance, and expatriate vacant home insurance please do us the favor of contacting us so we can send a supply of brochures to your employer for the benefit of the people that will follow after you.Most expatriates that move abroad without international property insurance do so because they have the false belief that their employer is in some way providing the coverage, or the employer would "write a check" to make them whole in the event of a property loss. This is just not the case no matter how important to the company you are. There are both legal and tax reasons why the employer can not reimburse a personal loss.

Every employee on foreign assignment needs to secure international renters insurance which is a combination policy of expatriate property insurance + expatriate liability insurance.
