Hello Fellow Expats!
I am going to be moving to Playa del Carmen later this year. First to attend an ESL/CELTA program for one month and then to stay and look for work. I will reside wherever I can find work and want to say in the PDC coast area.
Not knowing the length of my stay (since it is dependent on acquiring work), I am considering the various options for medical insurance.
1) Is it necessary to have while living in Mexico?
2) Would you suggest getting a US based Traveler's Insurance? If so, which one is a good budget value?
OR
3) Is it possible for a non-resident to purchase Mexico insurance? How is the coverage and what are the costs? How can I learn more about this?
Also, I am 40, in good health and not requiring regular medication. This would be more for emergencies or any other random illness that might arise.
I would love any thoughts/opinions on this topic!!
Thank you a bunch!
Marilyn
