As Albania increasingly positions itself as an attractive destination for living, entrepreneurship, and investment by foreigners, the need for reliable health insurance solutions becomes a key element of integration and well-being for this community. To meet this real need, SIGMA Vienna Insurance Group, one of the most reliable players in the insurance market, launches the dedicated product Expat Protect, a modern, flexible, and European-standard insurance solution for foreign nationals living and working in Albania.

A concrete response to a growing need

In recent years, the presence of expats, whether professionals, investors, international consultants, or individuals who have chosen Albania as a permanent or temporary residence, has been continuously increasing. For this category of citizens, health insurance is often a legal requirement for obtaining a residence permit but, above all, a vital necessity to handle any unexpected situation with dignity.

Expat Protect is designed precisely for this purpose: to provide coverage for hospital expenses in case of an accident or acute illness, to allow an annual check-up in Albania, to cover medical emergencies that may occur during their travels to their country of origin, repatriation expenses, all in accordance with international insurance standards and at prices accessible to everyone. The affordable premium, combined with a clear and transparent range of coverages, makes this product an optimal choice for any foreigner who wants to feel secure in Albania.

SIGMA – the guarantee of European experience in the Albanian market

With this product, the company aims to build bridges of trust with the international community, while simultaneously contributing to the overall improvement of the living climate in Albania.

A contribution to integration and social well-being

By guaranteeing access to quality coverage in case of an accident, Expat Protect is not just an insurance product but an instrument that empowers the integration and social stability of foreigners in Albania. This is a concrete step towards building a more friendly, safer, and more attractive environment for all those who choose to build their lives here.
