SafetyWing is your home country on the internet. We’re here to remove the role of geographical borders as a barrier to equal opportunities and freedom for everyone.
People who are location independent fall between the cracks, without proper access to insurance or national safety nets. We know this because we are nomads ourselves.
To solve this, we are building a global social safety net tailored to the needs of online freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote companies. We started with travel and medical insurance (Nomad Insurance) and are adding comprehensive health insurance (Remote Health) to our offering before moving on to disability insurance and pension savings into one global membership. We will keep adding products until we have a complete social safety net — fully functioning across borders.
The ultimate plan is to create actual citizenship with a passport — a country on the internet — where citizens are lifetime members with unlimited access to a global social safety net.
SafetyWing are building a global social safety net for digital nomads and remote companies: from travel and health insurance to a truly borderless world.
They offer:
1. Nomad Insurance – Travel insurance that covers you worldwide, with Covid-19 and unexpected quarantine coverage.
2. Remote Health – Comprehensive health insurance solution for remote teams that covers everyone globally, no matter where they are in the world.
