Ethiopia & Life Insurance
Whether or not a trip to Ethiopia will impact your life insurance will largely depend on the length of your stay and the reason behind your stay.
To check your life insurance options we will ask:
- Where do you plan on going in Ethiopia?
- How long do you plan to stay in Ethiopia?
- What’s your reason for going to Ethiopia?
It is quite possible that going to Ethiopia will increase the premiums on your life insurance policy. Insurers are constantly watching world events and any unrest within or close to a country, can mean that they are not able to offer the basic pricing for life insurance.
Your options for life insurance will depend on why you’re going to Ethiopia, and how long you plan on staying there. You may need to access specialist life insurance if your stay is quite long i.e. more than 30 days. Specialist life insurance isn’t necessarily more expensive than mainstream life insurance, but it can be, there can also be exclusions.
If you are visiting Ethiopia for a short holiday, your premiums should not be significantly affected.
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.
Critical illness cover tends to be more tricky to arrange than life insurance at the best of times, when you then add in a trip abroad it can get even more complicated.
Your critical illness cover options will likely change, based on the amount of civil unrest present in Ethiopia and surrounding countries, at the time of your application.
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.
Income protection is another policy that can be tricky to arrange, especially if you are travelling abroad. This really depends upon how long you are going to be outside of the UK and where you are travelling to.
Spending a short amount of time in Ethiopia may not affect the cost of your income protection policy, but you will probably need to place your application with a very specific insurer.
You could find that insurers are unable to consider your application for income protection, until you have returned to the UK.
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.
