Travel Insurance for Seniors in the Philippines (Ages 60–100)
Pacific Cross senior travel insurance • No medical check-up • Covers ages 60–100
Travel with Peace of Mind at Any Age
More seniors today are rediscovering the joy of travel — visiting family abroad, joining cruises, or exploring new places at their own pace. But travel comes with more considerations as we age. Having travel insurance ensures that you and your loved ones are protected against unexpected medical or travel incidents.
A short story: A 78-year-old traveler on a cruise to Japan experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure and had to be brought to a clinic ashore. Because she had valid travel insurance, her medical expenses and changes to her travel plans were fully covered. It’s a reminder that preparation gives peace of mind not just to the traveler, but also to family members back home.
For Filipino seniors, Pacific Cross Travelsafe is one of the few insurance providers that covers travelers up to 100 years old — offering reliable protection for both domestic and international trips, including Schengen visa requirements.

Important Exclusions (to Manage Expectations)
To avoid misunderstandings, here are common situations not covered under the policy (as outlined in the Pacific Cross TACTIC):
Pre-existing conditions are only covered for emergency in-patient treatment within stated limits; not for routine or continuing care.

Tips for Senior Travelers
- Apply early — Start the process at least a week before your trip (especially for ages 76–100).
- Prepare required documents: Signed application form, passport bio page, and ticket copy.
- Choose the right destination plan: Domestic, Asia & Oceania, or Worldwide Elite (Schengen-approved).
- Keep all records: Save receipts, boarding passes, and medical documents for claims.
- Inform family: Let a family member know your policy number and emergency hotline.
Why It Matters
Unexpected events such as illness, flight delays, or lost baggage can happen to anyone — but the risks and costs can be higher for older travelers. With the right insurance, you’re assured of support, protection, and professional assistance when you need it most.
