Frequently Asked Questions


How do you define a UK resident?


Our policies are designed to offer cover to United Kingdom residents, to qualify you must be a permanent resident within the UK and have been registered with a UK medical practitioner for at least 6 months.


We can also consider offering cover to temporary permanent residents on the understanding that they have been living in the UK and registered with a UK GP for at least six months, that their intention is to travel to and from their home in the UK, and where a visa is required for residency purposes, the visa in place at the time of policy purchase runs for a period that is the same length or longer than the period of insurance.
