What is your definition of a UK resident?


Our policies are available for purchase to United Kingdom (UK) 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 prior to purchasing our travel insurance policy.


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.
