Why international health insurance matters
If you’re an expat in the UAE, choosing the wrong health insurance can cost you far more than you think, financially and emotionally.
Common pain points we see:
- Overpaying for the wrong plan
- Coverage gaps (pre-existing, maternity, outpatient, worldwide, home-country)
- Unnecessary add-ons driving up cost
- Confusing fine print and hidden limits
- Claims stress when it matters most
- Poor fit for your lifestyle (travel, family, work)
You shouldn’t have to guess.
We are Lynn & Radu and have been living in Dubai since early 2025. With our company Free2B, we fulfilled our dream of becoming self-employed here. Shortly after our move, we had to experience firsthand how crucial the right health insurance is for expats. That’s why we recommend Beakon Global as a specialized partner for international health insurance for expats in the UAE.
Health insurance for expats, especially outside Europe, is the basic prerequisite for a successful emigration. Many pitfalls are often not recognizable at first glance. Practical experience is essential. I myself have been living and working in Dubai for 20 years and have already been able to help far more than 100,000 people insure themselves in a practical way. Regulations, legal requirements, and choosing the best product from an insurer who understands that health insurance is always and fundamentally very personal, these are the challenges, especially in countries with a different legal and economic system.
I founded MaxHealth to build a bridge between the European understanding of protection and the needs in the UAE. However, there is no doubt that personal expat health insurance is often still the better choice. That is why I support the team at Beakon Global as well as Lynn and Radu from Free2b with my best efforts, in order to always find the best possible solution for each individual case—independent of economic self-interest.

Testimonials
As someone from Luxembourg now living in Costa Rica and starting my own business in the wellness community, I was feeling completely overwhelmed navigating international health insurance.
Finding Beakon Global has been such a gift. Their expertise, dedication, and clear communication helped me feel safe and supported throughout the entire process.
They were always available, patient, and truly went above and beyond to find the best solution for my unique situation. I am so grateful for their outstanding service and highly recommend them to anyone living or working abroad
Stephan did not simply present me with various options, but rather provided me with comprehensive, individualized advice.
Every question was welcome and was answered by him in an understandable manner. In the end, I chose an international insurance with confidence, and now I can calmly tick off this challenging topic for me!
Finally, the right health insurance for abroad - thanks to Beakon Global GmbH!
I’ve been living abroad for quite some time, but never really tackled the issue of international health insurance. I simply lacked both an overview and the confidence to make a sound decision.
A good friend of mine, who travels internationally a lot himself, finally recommended Beakon Global GmbH - based on his own positive experiences.
Right from our first conversation, I felt understood. Beakon Global specializes in overseas health insurance and was able to immediately present me with several suitable, easily comparable options. Their advice was always pleasant, professional, and reliable.
Today, I’m truly relieved to have finally found the right insurance - and to have a broker by my side whom I can trust. A topic that has been weighing on my mind for a long time is now resolved - and it feels really good, because international health insurance is such an important safeguard.
