What is long stay travel insurance?

When you’re planning a long trip, you’ll need travel insurance that can cover your whole holiday.

Long stay travel insurance is cover for a longer term trip – usually for holidays where you’ll be away between three and 18 months.

If your holiday is up to three months you’ll be covered by our Single Trip policy with no upper age limit for global travel.

Know before you go

With travel advice changing so quickly, it’s important you keep up-to-date with travel advice.

Before you travel, you’ll need to know:

  • UK Government (the FCO) say it’s safe to travel to your destination. It’s important you check your destination is safe to visit regularly as advice can change.
  • Your destination’s local government advice, safety guidelines and entry requirements.

We want you to have a safe and relaxing holiday. If you don’t follow government advice, your travel insurance policy will become invalid and you won’t be covered if you need to claim. Even if advice changes while you’re on holiday, you won’t be covered if your destination was listed as unsafe when you travelled.

Should I declare my pre-existing medical conditions on my travel insurance?

You can declare your medical conditions through our online medical screening process, which is a straightforward set of questions for us to understand how your medical condition affects you. Or, if you prefer, you can complete the medical screening over the phone.

It’s important that all pre-existing conditions are declared on your policy.

This will avoid large medical bills if you need treatment in another country. Failure to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions may affect the validity of your policy should you need to claim.
