Côte d'Ivoire & Life Insurance
If you’re planning a trip to Côte d’Ivoire, you will probably find that a lot of UK insurers want to take a closer look at your life insurance application.
You may find that some insurers decline your application for life insurance simply because you are travelling to the Ivory Coast, but others might be able consider your life insurance application depending upon the specific areas you are travelling to.
Not all insurers follow the same rules, and we specialise in finding the right provider to get you the life insurance cover you need.
Insurance companies often rely on a mix of the UK government guidance on travel as well as other risk factors in making their decisions. Social, political and environmental changes can quickly happen within a country and insurers will respond quickly to any risks that they are seeing.
To check your life insurance options we will ask:
- When are you travelling to Côte d’Ivoire?
- Why are you going to Côte d’Ivoire?
- How long will you be staying in Côte d’Ivoire?
While most UK insurers may decline life insurance applications from people travelling to Côte d’Ivoire, we work with providers who can potentially consider — especially for short trips, such as holidays that last less than 30 days, and business trips that last less than one week.
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.
It is more than likely that most UK insurers will decline your application for critical illness cover if you plan to travel to Côte d’Ivoire. However, a few insurers may consider your application, but it must be handled carefully to avoid getting a policy with travel-related exclusions.
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.
If you plan to travel to Côte d’Ivoire, your application for income protection will possibly need to be placed with a specialist insurer. It could be that the income protection policy will have an exclusion for claims related to your travel.
While this may not seem ideal, getting a policy with an exclusion can serve as temporary cover, that can later be replaced with a more comprehensive policy once you return.
Our expert advisers will listen to your circumstances and let you know the best way to protect your income.
