Not sure whether to pick Feather or Cigna?
Both cover you for a Thailand visa, so the real question is which suits your life. Feather is simpler and cheaper for most people, with everyday care built in. Cigna can make sense if you want the very highest coverage limits.
Choose Feather if…
You’re settling in Thailand and want a visa-ready cover you can set up online in minutes. Feather's Essential plan starts at €56/month, with limits of €300,000 annually.
Consider Cigna if…
You want a policy with very high coverage limits, and premium cost isn’t a deciding factor.
What's actually covered?
Both plans cover the hospital treatment required by your visa. The difference is in everyday care. Feather builds in outpatient, diagnostics, medicines, and dental as standard, across both plans. Cigna's base cover is mainly inpatient, with outpatient and dental as paid add-ons. Need maternity or therapy too? That's Feather's Plus plan.
How does support compare?
Our policies are online, but our support is reassuringly human. With Feather, you can reach a real person in English before and after you sign up. Cigna offers global support too, often through call centers across time zones. When you're sorting insurance abroad, talking to someone who gets it makes all the difference.
Which is more affordable?
Cigna's premiums start higher and climb more steeply with age. Here's what to expect (figures assume a €1,000 deductible)
At 36 years old
Between €76 and €136 at Feather. Between €177 and €317 at Cigna.
At 60 years old
Between €260 and €384 at Feather. Between €375 and €672 at Cigna.

When Cigna might be the better choice
We’d rather you find the right cover. Here’s where Cigna Global has an advantage.
You want to tailor every detail
Cigna lets you build your plan module by module, adjusting each benefit individually. If you'd rather fine-tune every detail yourself, that flexibility is a real plus.
You don't care about costs
Cigna's Platinum tier has a higher coverage ceiling than our Plus plan. If money's no object and you want the very top end, it's hard to beat.
