Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A comparison platform that aggregates travel insurance policies specifically for expatriates and digital nomads based on their current residency status.
  2. A browser extension that identifies insurance providers that accept applicants from specific countries of residence to save time on manual site checks.
  3. A policy advocacy initiative to standardize cross-border travel insurance regulations to reduce residency-based discrimination in coverage access.

“providers often present a prompt asking for the buyer's country of residence before displaying policy options or pricing. Selecting I live in the US vs. I don't live in the US routes the user to different policy offerings, pricing structures, and legal terms”
