Tunisia & Life Insurance
When you are planning on travelling to Tunisia for a holiday, that legendary safari that you have always wanted to do, shouldn’t have a major impact on your life insurance application.
However, if you’re going for business for more than a week or a holiday over 30 days, travelling to Tunisia can possibly make a change when finding the right life insurance policy.
To check your life insurance options we will ask:
- When are you travelling to Tunisia?
- Where are you travelling to in Tunisia?
- How are you travelling to Tunisia?
Most short trips to Tunisia won’t affect your life insurance premiums. Insurers are constantly watching different countries to see if anything is changing in the political landscape, any civil unrest, or other factors that could make your trip to Tunisia more risky.
Where there is some uncertainty over safety of travel to a country, some insurers might want to delay your life insurance application, until you have returned to the UK. However, this isn’t always the case and it might be that the specific location that you are travelling to is absolutely fine.
If you have found that applying for life insurance has not gone as planned, due to your travel, we have a lot of insurers that we can speak to for you, including some that are specifically good for travel disclosures.
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.
Unless you are travelling to particularly risky locations, your critical illness cover should be offered at normal terms if you are taking a short trip (this is often 30 days or less for a holiday).
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.
Travelling to Tunisia for a short period, for work or leisure, shouldn’t have an affect on your income protection policy. For income protection, insurers like to be crystal clear that you are a UK resident, working in the UK and paying UK tax. So if you are spending a longer time in Tunisia, you can find that some insurers can be uncertain about offering cover.
If absolute need be there are some international income protection options that you could consider. However, most of the time income protection should be available to you without any concerns.
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.
