Nomad insurance
Digital nomad insurance for Saint Lucia
Built for people who stay in Saint Lucia for months at a time but aren't relocating. Hybrid medical + travel + gear cover, written for the way nomads actually live.
Saint Lucia runs a "Don't Just Visit, Live It" extended-stay program that lets remote workers live on the island for up to a year, English-speaking and with no fixed income floor. Health insurance is a stated condition, but the figure that matters is not on the application: this is a single-island health system where serious cases are flown abroad, so medical evacuation cover is the part of any policy that earns its keep.
