Frequently asked questions
Do I need visitor health insurance for a UAE visit?
Visitor insurance is not mandatory for all nationalities, but many visitors choose it for protection against unexpected medical costs and to meet visa requirements for some entry categories.
How long can I buy coverage for?
Most visitor policies cover durations from a few days up to one year. We offer plans to match short trips and longer temporary stays; extensions depend on insurer rules.
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
Coverage for pre-existing conditions varies by policy. Some plans offer limited or declared-condition cover; full exclusion is common. We will identify plans that best fit declared medical histories.
Can I visit any hospital in the UAE?
Access depends on the insurer's provider network and policy terms. Many plans allow treatment at private hospitals but may require cashless agreements or reimbursements — we review network details with you.
How do I make a claim if I need treatment?
Contact the insurer or our support team immediately. For cashless hospitals, pre-authorization is usually required. For reimbursements, keep invoices, medical reports and proof of payment.
