North Korea travel insurance for a family of three

In short

On 28 Oct 2026, single-trip travel insurance for two weeks in North Korea for a family of three (two adults and one child) costs from S$84.80 (GST included) at MSIG, TravelEasy Lite, Family cover (2 adults, up to 5 children), with COVID-19 cover where the plan offers it; 5 insurers quote it online, up to S$644.96 at Income.

• The middle of 5 insurers' cheapest plans is S$235.00.
• A family of three pays 2.3 times what one adult pays (S$36.40).

Why it costs this

• Insurers price by region, not by country: North Korea is in their Worldwide band, so at many insurers it costs the same as other Worldwide destinations for the same number of days.
• The number of days comes next: from S$27.60 for 3 days to S$168.00 for 30 days for these travellers today.
• Many insurers sell a family plan, two adults and their children at one price, so a family of three pays 2.3 times what one adult pays, not 3 times.
• Age is not asked here: the prices are for adults under 60, where no insurer on the panel loads or discounts for age; older travellers pay more at most insurers.
• 13 insurers name North Korea in their exclusions; see the wording below.
• 17 insurers do not quote these travellers online for this trip: Allianz (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Allianz Travel (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); China Taiping (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Chubb (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); EQ Insurance (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); ERGO (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Etiqa (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); FWD (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Great American (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Great Eastern (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); HL Assurance (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); India International (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Liberty (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); QBE (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Starr (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); UOI (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea); Zurich (This insurer doesn’t cover trips to North Korea).
