O Seguro Viagem não é pré-requisito para os brasileiros entrarem no México, mas convenhamos, nesta vida tudo pode acontecer, principalmente se você estiver longe de casa! Você pode estar surfando em uma praia perfeita ou caminhando por uma floresta tropical longe de um centro urbano e sofrer um acidente. Em momentos como esse, ter um seguro é uma grande ajuda.

Mas não é apenas nas situações de maior aventura que ter um seguro é uma boa ideia. A companhia aérea pode extraviar sua bagagem ou uma enchilada pode não cair muito bem, exigindo uma visita ao médico, por isso é sempre interessante ter cobertura.

Informe-se sobre as diferentes apólices disponíveis, regras de contratação e utilização. A World Nomads oferece as categorias Standard, Explorer e Explorer Plus e, dependendo do que planeja fazer durante sua viagem, você poderá decidir qual é a mais adequada para você.

Em resumo, ao fazer as malas para o México, levar um Seguro Viagem na bagagem, junto com o protetor solar, pode ser uma boa ideia.

Cobertura para o cancelamento ou interrupção da viagem

Pode ser tão frustrante estar com tudo pronto, com as malas na porta, apenas esperando sua viagem começar, e então algo inesperado colocar tudo em suspensão. E isso pode ser ainda mais inconveniente se você já pagou pela hospedagem, passeios ou transporte. A World Nomads pode ajudá-lo a recuperar algumas dessas despesas pré-pagas não reembolsáveis se o motivo de seu cancelamento estiver incluso na cobertura.

O mesmo pode acontecer se algo inesperado interromper sua viagem, e você for obrigado a voltar para casa mais cedo. Se isso acontecer, e se os motivos estiverem cobertos, você poderá ser reembolsado pelos custos de reservas antecipadas, voos de volta para casa e outros custos de viagem pré-pagos não reembolsáveis ​​que você não teve a chance de utilizar.

Que tipo de situação inesperada pode acontecer no México?

Atraso ou perda de bagagem

As companhias aéreas prometem transportar nossas malas com segurança e entregá-las na chegada ao nosso destino. Mas todos sabemos que nem sempre funciona assim! Se as suas malas se perderem enquanto estiverem sob responsabilidade da companhia aérea, o seu plano poderá cobrir custos eventualmente não cobertos pela companhia.

Você deve entrar em contato com sua companhia aérea ou transportadora assim que perceber que uma mala está perdida e separar toda a documentação necessária. Com o seu formulário P.I.R. (Property Irregularity Report) preenchido em mãos, nossa equipe de atendimento entrará em contato com a companhia para que ela localize e devolva sua bagagem o mais rápido possível. Com isso resolvido, você estará com tudo encaminhado para dar continuidade às suas férias.

Além disso, mesmo que sua bagagem apenas atrase por 12 horas ou mais, enfrentar a agitação da Cidade do México sem nenhum item pessoal pode ser bastante inconveniente. É por isso que nosso Seguro Viagem pode fornecer reembolso para os itens essenciais enquanto tudo se resolve.

Pertences roubados

O artesanato mexicano é famoso ao redor do mundo, e o melhor lugar para pechinchar é nos mercados de rua ou tianguis, como são conhecidos. Mas infelizmente essas atrações turísticas também podem atrair ladrões, então você precisa ter muito cuidado ao passear pelas ruas. Se você descobrir que seu passaporte, carteira ou documentos foram roubados, mesmo que você tenha prestado atenção, a nossa apólice de seguro pode te ajudar.

A World Nomads pode colocar você em contato com as autoridades locais adequadas e entrar em contato com sua família no Brasil para garantir uma eventual transferência de fundos o mais rápido possível. Dessa forma, você não ficará desamparado. Leia sua apólice com atenção para verificar quais itens e documentos estão cobertos.

Despesas com emergências médicas no exterior

Ninguém imagina sofrer um acidente ou ser acometido por uma doença durante as férias. Mas com o clima, comidas e atividades diferentes que você pode encontrar no México, há um risco maior de que algo indesejável possa acontecer. Se você se acidentar em uma pirâmide maia ou for picado por um inseto, seu Seguro Viagem pode cobrir as despesas médicas.

Todos querem saborear a famosa tequila mexicana, mas embora a produção seja altamente regulamentada, você deve ficar atento a variedades destiladas ilegalmente que podem causar intoxicação ou facilitar a tentativas de golpes. Tenha sempre cuidado ao aceitar bebidas que você não solicitou.

Além disso, embora a situação tenha melhorado, a COVID-19 ainda é um risco e, se você for vítima dessa doença, seu plano poderá cobrir os medicamentos e tratamentos médicos para situações de urgências ou emergências.

Além disso, a equipe de assistência de emergência da World Nomads está à sua disposição 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana. Eles podem fornecer orientações sobre as clínicas mais próximas, repassar mensagens para seus entes queridos no Brasil e até mesmo colocá-lo em contato com assistência jurídica local, caso isso seja necessário.

Cobertura para atividades esportivas no México

Um dos melhores locais para mergulho do mundo é Los Cabos, na costa oeste do México. Uma caminhada pelas ruínas da antiga península de Yucatán é uma aventura inesquecível. Mas se acidentes ocorrerem nessas aventuras, um Seguro Viagem da World Nomads pode ajudar se você precisar de um tratamento de emergência, orientando-o sobre onde ir e no estressante processo de obtenção de assistência médica em um país estrangeiro.

Aconteça o que acontecer, certifique-se de ler sua apólice completamente para entender quais atividades são cobertas. Coletar e manter todos os relatórios e documentos relacionados a o seu acidente desportivo e tratamento. Dessa forma, com tudo o que precisamos para entregar, poderemos avaliar sua reivindicação de forma rápida e fácil.

Aconteça o que acontecer, certifique-se de ler sua apólice cuidadosamente para entender quais atividades estão cobertas. Reúna e guarde todos os relatórios e documentos referentes ao seu acidente esportivo e tratamento. Assim, com tudo o que precisamos em mãos, poderemos avaliar sua situação de forma rápida e fácil.

O que não cobrimos

É claro que há coisas que seu seguro de viagem não cobre.

Algumas dessas coisas são:

  • Desastres naturais, como furacões, ciclones ou terremotos;
  • Tratamento médico para condições pré-existentes;
  • Assistência necessária em decorrência da participação em esportes radicais não incluídos no seu plano.

Estas são apenas uma seleção do que pode não fazer parte da cobertura. Em relação aos esportes radicais, dependendo de quão radical forem as atividades escolhidas, é uma boa ideia ler atentamente cada uma de nossas apólices para decidir qual delas é mais adequada às atividades de sua preferência. Seja qual for o caso, você deve ler a apólice do seu plano cuidadosamente e certificar-se de que compreendeu totalmente o que poderá ou não reivindicar.

Travel insurance when visiting Mexico

31 states. Countless adventures. Make sure you’re covered for medical emergencies, baggage and personal belongings, and more.

    Trusted by:

  • Trusted by:

Covering a vast area, Mexico is a country of diversity. With lush rainforests, pristine beaches, a fascinating cultural history and one of the finest culinary traditions in the world, it offers a variety of experiences for the adventurous traveler.

Travel insurance may offer cover for:

Travel insurance isn’t an essential requirement for Brazilians to enter Mexico, but let’s face it, in this life anything can happen, especially if you’re away from home! You may find yourself surfing the perfect beach or hiking a tropical jungle far away from an urban center when you suffer an accident. At moments like this, having insurance helps.

But it’s not just the more adventurous situations that mean insurance is a good idea. The airline may misplace your baggage, or a dodgy enchilada may play tricks with your tummy, requiring a visit to the doctor, so it’s always a good idea to have coverage.

Depending on what you plan on doing during your trip, you should read through the different policies available, along with their terms and conditions, and decide which one is right for you. We offer Standard, Explorer and Explorer Plus options depending upon how far from the beaten path you intend to go.

So, when packing your bags to go exploring Mexico, popping in some travel insurance along with your sunscreen may be a good idea.

Trip cancellation and interruption coverage

It can be so disappointing to have everything ready with your bags by the door, just waiting to get going, only for something unexpected to put it all on hold. And this can be even more upsetting if you’ve already paid for accommodation, excursions and transportation. World Nomads may be able to help you recover some of these nonrefundable, prepaid expenses if the reason for your cancellation is covered.

The same can be true if something unexpected happens to cut short your trip, meaning you have to go home early. If this happens, and if the reasons are covered, you may be reimbursed for the costs of booking early flights home and other nonrefundable, prepaid trip costs that you weren’t able to use.

What sorts of things could happen in Mexico?

Delayed or lost baggage

Airline companies promise to transport our bags safely and deliver them upon arrival at our destination. But we all know it doesn’t always work out like that! If your bags are lost whilst entrusted to the transport operator, your policy may cover the cost of the loss not covered by that company.

You should contact your airline or other transportation provider as soon as you realize that a bag is missing and complete all the proper paperwork. With your P.I.R. (Property Irregularity Report) in hand, our assistance team can liaise with the transport operator for them to locate and return your baggage as soon as possible. With all this in place, you will be well on your way to getting the problem resolved and carrying on with your vacation.

Also, even if your baggage is only delayed by 12 hours or more, facing the hustle and bustle of Mexico City without any personal items could be frustrating. That’s why our travel insurance may be able to provide you with reimbursement for the essentials while things get sorted out.

Stolen personal effects

Mexican handicrafts are famous the world over and the best place to pick up a bargain is at flea markets or tianguis as they are known. But these tourist attractions unfortunately also attract thieves, so you’ll need to be very careful as you browse. If you find that your passport, wallet or documents have been stolen, even if you have been paying attention, your insurance policy may be able to help.

World Nomads can put you in touch with the correct local authorities and liaise with your family in Brazil to make sure that funds are wired as soon as possible. That way you won’t be left stranded, but you should read your policy carefully to check which items and documents are covered.

Overseas urgent or emergency medical expenses

No one imagines suffering an accident or being struck down by illness while on vacation. But with the different climate, food and activities you may find in Mexico, there is a greater risk that something undesirable could happen. Should you stumble down a Mayan pyramid or get bitten by a strange bug, your travel insurance may have you covered.

Many of us look forward to enjoying some famous local Mexican Tequila, but although production is highly regulated, you should watch out for illegally distilled varieties which can cause alcohol poisoning and could lead to muggings. Always be careful when accepting drinks that you haven’t ordered.

Also, even though the situation has improved, COVID-19 is still a risk, and if you happen to find yourself a victim of this disease, your policy may have your medicines and medical treatment covered.

In addition, World Nomads emergency assistance team is on the other end of the telephone 24/7. They can provide guidance on the nearest medical centers, relay messages to your loved ones back in Brazil, and even put you in touch with local legal assistance should it be necessary.

Cover for activities and sports when in Mexico

Some of the world’s best scuba diving can be found at Los Cabos off the west coast of Mexico. And a hiking tour through the ancient ruins of the Yucatan peninsula is an unforgettable adventure. But if accidents on these adventures happen, a World Nomads travel insurance policy may help if you need emergency treatment, advising you on where to go and guiding you through the difficult process of medical assistance in a foreign country.

Whatever happens, make sure that you read your policy thoroughly to understand which activities are covered. Collect and keep all the reports and documents relating to your sporting accident and treatment. That way, with everything we need to hand, we’ll be able to assess your claim quickly and easily.

What’s not covered

There are, of course, going to be things that your travel insurance does not cover. Some of these may include:

  • Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, cyclones or earthquakes;
  • Medical treatment for pre-existing conditions;
  • Assistance necessary as a result of participation in extreme sports not included in the policy.

These are just a selection of the things that can’t be covered. In relation to extreme sports, depending upon how radical you want to go, it’s a good idea to carefully read each of our policies to decide which one is best suited to your preferred activities. Whatever the case, you should read your policy carefully and make sure you fully understand what you may or may not be able to claim for.

Buy travel insurance away from home

Get cover by World Nomads, even if you're already on the road

    Trusted by:

  • Trusted by:

1. Consider purchasing travel insurance while traveling

If you’ve arrived at your destination and you’ve forgotten to buy travel insurance before leaving your Country of Residence, don’t panic. The good news is that you can visit the World Nomads website to purchase a policy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Similarly, if your World Nomads travel insurance policy is due to expire during your overseas holiday, but you wish to keep traveling, you may be able to extend your existing policy or buy a new policy depending on your Country of Residence.

2. Always check the terms and conditions of your policy

You’ve just checked into your hotel and you’re itching to explore the local sights. The last thing you probably want to do is to sit in your hotel room and read through the fine print of an insurance policy. But it’s a smart idea to become familiar with the various limits, benefits, optional extras and upgrades, and the terms and conditions before you buy a policy, so there’s no surprises at claim time.

If you buy travel insurance while overseas, there is a 72-hour waiting period from the date that you receive your Certificate of Insurance, before your cover comes into effect. This means that you may not be covered for certain events or losses that happen during this waiting period.

However, if you have an accident and sustain a serious injury after being issued with your Certificate of Insurance, and before the 72-hour timeframe has lapsed, you may be covered for some expenses under your policy. Be sure to check your Policy Wording for the complete list of what’s covered and what isn’t covered depending on your Country of Residence.

If you have any questions about the terms and conditions on your policy, please get in touch.

3. Extend your policy for your overseas holiday

If your current travel insurance policy is due to expire soon, but you’re having too much fun and want to travel for longer, you can extend your existing policy rather than risk being without cover.

If you meet eligibility requirements, you may be able to extend your policy up to a maximum of 12 months from the policy start date, which is indicated on your Certificate of Insurance. This must be done prior to 11:59pm on the closing date of your current policy, based on the time and date in the capital city of your Country of Residence.

If you have any questions about purchasing travel insurance during your overseas holiday, please get in touch.

4. Need to know more?

All travel insurance plans are different, and cover will vary depending on what’s happened, your Country of Residence, the plan you choose, and any options or upgrades you buy. Your Policy Wording will always have the full terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions for what you’re covered for.

If you have any further questions about what’s covered and not covered, just ask us.

Travel can open our minds and teach us about destinations often far removed from our own. Just like you, as a team of global adventurers, the World Nomads team knows that as thrilling as a vacation abroad can be, our choices, if they are considered, can influence more than just ourselves.

How does World Nomads travel insurance help communities abroad?

As well as offering you support from the sidelines as you tread your explorative path, whatever it is, World Nomads also offers globetrotters the opportunity to help fund a community development project for the greater good, too.

When purchasing a policy with us, you can choose to add a small donation to the price, with 100 percent of the funds raised going directly to more than 240 reputable charities and NGOs, including Save the Children, The Fred Hollows Foundation and SURFAID, to name just a few.

Since launching the initiative, the World Nomads Footprints program has raised almost $4 million, thanks to the generosity of more than 1.3 million travelers.

Each of the projects we support has a focus on ending poverty, protecting the planet and/or making a global shift toward sustainability and resilience, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

How can I contribute through the Footprints program if I buy travel insurance?

The most enriching travel experiences are those that have a positive impact on ourselves, but also the environment, economy and local communities in need.

Our World Nomads Footprints recipients Safe Cities For Girls, Protecting Gorillas and Surrounding Communities, and various frontline health projects are richer for the contributions our travel community send their way.

To contribute, simply generate a travel insurance quote for your trip, and as you navigate the purchase path, you can choose to add a donation. Then all you need to do is enjoy your travels knowing you are making a difference. You can also keep in touch with us so you can see what project you have helped to fund.

Why should I consider travel insurance when going overseas?

You wouldn’t go on a vacation without taking your passport, right? It wouldn’t make sense and you wouldn’t get very far. The same goes for travel insurance; it’s something you should consider when getting ready to go on a holiday overseas.

We all know that as organized as you might be, not everything always goes to plan when you’re venturing abroad – items get lost in transit, flights can be canceled and delayed, and injuries and illness can occur.

An insurance policy may be able to help in these circumstances, and if you’re a seasoned traveler you’ll know that not only is it inconvenient to have to deal with any of the above, these hiccups can prove costly, especially in another country.

At World Nomads, we offer two levels of cover – Standard and Explorer – it’s important to consider exactly what you’ll be doing on your vacation before choosing the policy, as there are some differences.

The Standard plan includes a range of benefits such as overseas medical, coverage for your belongings, pre-trip cancellation and certain adventure activities, sports and experiences, while Explorer has all the same benefits, but also includes some that are not in the Standard Plan and includes higher limits in some cases.

If you’re into the more intense activities, for example you plan to go skiing and snowboarding, mountain biking downhill, or rock climbing, you’ll need to upgrade to Explorer and pay the higher premium. Do note that once you have purchased a particular level of cover, it can’t be altered mid-trip.

Key tips for being a more responsible traveler:

  • Social enterprise: while on your travels, seek out a social enterprise that assists the local community, for example, in Zambia the markets at Victoria Falls sell locally made goods, the money you spend goes back into the local community.
  • Ethical eating: try to eat seasonal, local, organic wholefoods based around local traditions rather than ‘Western-style’. Ethical tours should also include plant-based meal options to encourage planet-friendly eating.
  • Small groups: small group tours, with an average of 10 people, help us travel more responsibly. By interacting on a personal level with the people and places we visit, we’re more likely to understand the issues affecting these places and how we can help.
  • Carbon offsets: have you considered whether your trip includes carbon offsets? Two global adventure tour companies now offering this option are World Expeditions and Intrepid Travel, which has also been carbon neutral since 2010.
  • Be an infrequent flier, choose slow travel instead: flying less often is the best choice you can make. Could you travel using another mode of transport? And could you commit to using low-impact forms of transport once you reach your destination to offset the emissions from your flight?

This is only a summary of cover and does not include the full terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the policy. You should read your policy wording in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. That way there won’t be any surprises if you need to use it. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
