Age is the first gate on this plan, and it is a hard one. These answers come from SafetyWing's own product pages and policy wording.

You can purchase the Essential plan up to age 69. SafetyWing's comparison page gives the sign-up range as from 14 days old to age 69.
No. SafetyWing's policy wording states there is no cover if your age is 70 or older, and new plans can be bought only until you turn 70.
Your plan remains valid until the end of that coverage term, with no option to buy a new one after it.
SafetyWing publishes Nomad Insurance for people traveling or living outside their home country, in age bands that rise in price as you get older. On this site we document the plan for readers aged 50 to 69, because that is the senior age range SafetyWing will actually enroll.
