South Sudan & Life Insurance
At the moment travel to South Sudan is seen as very risky and insurers are not particularly keen on giving you life insurance, if you plan to travel there.
You will find that the majority of life insurance providers in the UK will decline your application for life insurance, if you are travelling to South Sudan.
Your options for life insurance will depend upon a few specific things. To check your life insurance options we will ask:
- When are you travelling to South Sudan?
- Why are you travelling to South Sudan?
- How long will you be in South Sudan for?
Most insurers will simply decline your application for life insurance as soon as you mention that you are going to South Sudan. But, there are some that can consider your application for life insurance if you are going for a short trip. This usually means less than 30 days for a holiday or volunteer work, or less than 7 days for work.
It might be that you need to place your life insurance with a specialist insurer. These policies can be really useful, but they do come with very specific terms and conditions, that can have extensive exclusions. It might be that these options are ok for you, but it is best to speak with an expert adviser to make sure you know what you are and are not covered for.
Our award winning advisers are here to search the market for you, so you don’t have to, to make sure that you get the best life insurance cover.
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.
You will find that most insurers will want to postpone your application for critical illness cover until you are back from your travel to South Sudan. You might be able to arrange a critical illness policy if you are going on a short trip, but it’s essential to check out the terms and conditions of what you set up.
Our advisers know which insurers to place your application with so that you get the best terms for critical illness cover.
Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.
Insurers are very particular about arranging income protection for people who are due to travel outside of the UK, to a country that is seen as risky. The insurers are considering the risk of you being hurt and also quality of the healthcare that you will receive if you are.
You will find that most income protection providers will want to delay your application until you have returned from South Sudan. There are some potential insurances that can be put in place, but it’s essential to read the small print and make sure you know what you are getting.
Our expert advisers will listen to your circumstances and let you know the best way to protect your income.
