MSIG TravelEasy Pre-Ex: Covers Pre-existing Conditions and Sports/Adventures

If you’re like most of us, you don't really read the policy document cover to cover. But if you do, you’ll realise most policies do not cover claims resulting from pre-existing medical conditions. What does it really mean?
It means that if you have to cancel your trip due to a major asthma attack, chances are your claim will not be successful. Common pre-existing conditions include eczema, hypertension and diabetes. If you have any pre-existing condition, it’s best to get MSIG’s Pre-Ex travel insurance plan to be adequately covered.
MSIG does not have co-payment if you cancel, postpone, shorten or disrupt your trip due to a possible flare-up.
(Note: The MSIG TravelEasy Pre-Ex includes what you would get under the regular TravelEasy plan.)
Who should get this: Travellers with pre-existing conditions that are under control.

For the standard MSIG TravelEasy plan (which doesn't cover pre-existing conditions), do take advantage of the current promotion for your travel insurance needs.
SingSaver's Exclusive MSIG TravelEasy Insurance Promotion: Receive up to S$38 in Grab vouchers and get 40% discount for Single Trip and 20% off on Annual Trip plans when you apply NOW. T&Cs apply. Plus, till 31 December, every applicant will also score an Apple AirTag — perfect for keeping tabs on your luggage on your next trip — or a ReboundTag. T&Cs apply.
Apply now and you'll automatically be enrolled in our lucky draws:
- Best Price Travel Insurance Weekly Draw: Get up to 3x chances to win 1x flight ticket reimbursement & 12x Samsonite Volant Spinner 68/25 EXP (worth S$480). T&Cs apply.

MSIG TravelEasy has been enhanced to provide better travel protection with over 50 benefits and COVID-19 coverage.
Allianz Travel Insurance: Best for Enjoying High Medical Coverage

If you want to get a plan with medical coverage, Allianz is a great travel insurance plan to go for. Just by getting the most basic tiered bronze plan, you’d be getting S$250,000 in coverage (for travellers ages 69 years and below).
Even if you were to find yourself having ingested something contaminated or being at the wrong place at the wrong time, you could be sure that the benefit amount will see you through.
Upgrading to the platinum tier will unlock medical coverage for up to S$1 million for individuals aged 69 years and below.
Who should get this: Travellers who don't mind paying for a basic plan containing COVID-19 coverage.

FWD Travel Insurance: Budget Single-trip Plan

Since its disruption of the travel insurance market with digital claims, FWD is known for its ease of claims and application—all in a tap from your smartphone. But it also has plenty of value to offer for the kind of price point you’re getting.
For the basic plan coverage (Premium), you may be getting a standard S$200,000 in overseas medical coverage and personal accident, up to S$300 in flight delays and per item of lost belongings, but don’t forget that you’re paying a lower premium (FWD offers regular discounts to boot) for this compared to other insurer’s travel insurance offerings. All tiers of FWD’s travel insurance come with unlimited medical evacuation and emergency repatriation.
You could also opt for the COVID-19 add-on. This coverage includes trip cancellation costs and loss of deposit (pre-trip) up to S$5,000 and medical expenses (during or post-trip) up to S$200,000.
This is an excellent choice for those who are either travelling to faraway destinations and want to save money, or those planning a quick weekend getaway.

Singlife Travel Insurance: Best for Protecting Your Miles and Flight Redemptions

You diligently accumulate your miles, and then use them to redeem a free flight to your dream holiday. The dream turns into a nightmare as you’re forced to cancel or postpone your flight due to unforeseen circumstances.
But wait, not all is lost; unlike most other travel insurance plans, Singlife can help you to ‘claim’ back your redeemed miles. Once you file your claim and it’s verified that your miles are irrecoverable, you’ll be refunded the value of the airline ticket.
Another key highlight is that the plan offers a trip cancellation benefit of S$5,000 for any reason, provided that you’ve purchased either the Plus or Prestige plan.
Singlife also recently rolled out their new rainfall protection that provides a payout of up to S$150 should your trip be affected by excessive rainfall. This is applicable only for single trips (minimum 3 days) where more than 50% of the trip duration is affected by rainfall levels of >6.4mm in a 24-hour period.
On top of that, Singlife is the only insurer that allows you to cancel your trip without any reason and claim for it up to S$5,000 if you opt for the Travel Plus and Travel Prestige plans.

Frequently Asked Questions on Travel Insurance
Is travel insurance worth the cost?
Depending on the insurer, travel insurance policies typically provide the following coverage:
- COVID-19 Coverage
- Personal accident
- Medical expenses (Overseas and Local)
- Travel delay/diversion
- Baggage delay/damage
- Trip cancellation
- Overbooked flight
- Loss of travel documents such as your passport and visa
- Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation
- Loss of personal belongings
- Terrorism
- Adventurous activities
There are also add-ons you can add to the travel insurance, such as coverage for sports equipment, overseas wedding and photoshoot, rental vehicle excess cover and more.
Most travel insurance policies cover the loss of travel documents. The policy will cover the cost to replace these documents as well as the transport expenses incurred during the process.
You must report the loss to the local police within 24 hours after the incident and obtain a written statement from them which will help with the claims. You should also report your lost passport to the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission immediately.
Can I buy travel insurance if I am already overseas?
Once you’re overseas, you won't be able to buy travel insurance so you will need to purchase your plan before leaving Singapore for your overseas trip.
Insurers are unlikely to cover you if you purchase travel insurance after your trip begins. For example, insurers such as Singlife and Allianz Travel state on their website that the travel insurance has to be purchased before departing Singapore.
Can foreigners buy travel insurance in Singapore?
There are specific insurers that offer foreigners travel insurance.
Foreigners in Singapore can buy travel insurance from NTUC Income, FWD, Tiq, Sompo, Allianz Travel, and AIG. You will need to provide your FIN and show your employment pass or work permit when applying.
You may also refer to our travel insurance page for more information.
