The Virginia Market for Insurance Agents
Virginia is a high-income Mid-Atlantic market with strong military, federal, and contractor demand for term and whole life. The Price Group writes business across the state, with most agent activity concentrated in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Richmond, and Newport News. Because TPG runs a fully remote, telesales-first model, Virginia agents work from home and serve every county on the map, not just their local metro. Final expense is the entry product most Virginia agents start with because lead flow is consistent and average premium fits a wide range of senior budgets, and term, whole life, and Medicare Supplement cross-sells follow naturally as the book matures.

No. Virginia issues non-resident licenses to agents already licensed in good standing in their home state. The non-resident application is filed through NIPR with no additional Virginia pre-licensing required.
Which Virginia license should I get for selling final expense and term life?
The Virginia Life Producer (Life-Only) license is the minimum required to sell life insurance, including final expense and term/whole life. If you also want to sell Medicare Supplement or under-65 health, you can either take a combined Life & Health course up front or add the Health line later. TPG agents typically start Life-Only and add Health when they are ready.
