Burkina Faso & Life Insurance
If you are travelling to Burkina Faso you will find out that many insurers within the UK are cautious about offering you life insurance. Most will decline your application for life insurance.
This is many insurers not all, and we do know how to put your application in the right hands, so that you get the life insurance you need.
Guidelines from the UK government are a massive help to insurers as they need to see if the place you are going to, is safe to travel too. This alongside other sources and the guidelines, can change insurers views of the risk of Burkina Faso.
To check your life insurance options we will ask:
- When are you going to Burkina Faso?
- What is the reason of your travel to Burkina Faso?
- How long will you stay in Burkina Faso?
Most UK insurers will immediately decline your life insurance application if you plan on going to Burkina Faso. We have access to a wide range of insurers in the UK and some may consider your application for life insurance, if your travel to Burkina Faso is a short holiday or a business trip.
In the world of insurance a short trip is normally anything that is less than 30 days and a short business trip is less than a week. The cost of your life insurance could be anywhere from standard terms, through to a rating, depending upon if a specialist insurer is needed.
Our award winning advisers are here to give you peace of mind with the right life insurance policy, so that if the worst happens, your loved ones will be taken care of.
British citizens who have moved abroad can often still access life insurance and critical illness cover in the UK. There are specific rules that you must follow to be eligible for new life insurance and critical illness policies, and we are here to strip out the jargon and get you the cover that you need.
Critical illness cover pays out a cash lump sum of money, if you are diagnosed with a medical condition that is listed in the insurer’s claims set e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke.
Most insurers in the UK will decline your critical illness cover application when you plan on travelling to Burkina Faso. A small selection of insurers can potentially look at your application, but it’s worth being prepared that it might not be completely straightforward.
There are some alternative options to critical illness cover, that can be worth considering, if you have upcoming travel to Burkina Faso.
Our expert advisers are trained to find the critical illness policy that matches you and your needs, so that if you are diagnosed with a critical illness, you can focus upon you rather than worrying about money.
Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.
Most applications for income protection will need to be placed with a specialist insurer, because of your trip to Burkina Faso. It is possible that any income protection policy that you arrange will come with exclusions for any claims relation to Burkina Faso.
We know this doesn’t sound great. It can possibly be a good idea to put a policy in place with an exclusion as a kind of temporary cover, then replace it with an income protection policy with no exclusions once you are back from Burkina Faso.
Protecting your income is one of the most important things that you can do to protect your financial future and our award winning advisers are here to sort it for you.
