Our policies are designed to offer cover to United Kingdom residents, to qualify you must be a permanent resident within the UK and have been registered with a UK medical practitioner for at least 6 months.
We can also consider offering cover to temporary permanent residents on the understanding that they have been living in the UK and registered with a UK GP for at least six months, that their intention is to travel to and from their home in the UK, and where a visa is required for residency purposes, the visa in place at the time of policy purchase runs for a period that is the same length or longer than the period of insurance.
Examples re temporary permanent residents -
Annual multi trip insurance
All travellers to be insured on the policy must:
- Have lived in the UK for at least 6 months on the day the policy is purchased
- Have been registered with a UK GP for at least 6 months on the day the policy is purchased

The following FAQ provides information about travel insurance policies underwritten by AWP P&C S.A., which is part of the Allianz Group. If your policy wording and IPID confirm that AWP P&C S.A. is your insurer, this FAQ information is relevant to your policy.
Our travel insurance policies are designed to cover residents of the United Kingdom, which we consider as someone who:
- Lives permanently in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland; and
- Has been registered with a UK medical practitioner for at least the last 6 months
Children under 6 months of age are also considered a UK resident provided they have had the NHS recommended inoculations.
However, we can also consider offering cover to temporary residents of the UK if all of the following apply:
- All travellers to be insured by the policy have lived in the UK for at least 6 months on the day the policy is purchased
- All travellers to be insured by the policy have been registered with a UK medical practitioner for at least 6 months on the day the policy is purchased
- All travellers to be insured by the policy have a visa allowing them to live and work or study in the UK beyond the end date of the policy
- All trips taken within the policy duration will begin and end in the UK
If any traveller you wish to insure does not meet all of the above criteria, you will need to look for more specialised cover for non-UK residents.
