By Destination
Travel insurance requirements by destination
Some countries require travel insurance for the visa; others simply make it wise. Here is what UAE travellers need to know before applying for a visa or booking a trip.
Schengen (Europe)
Mandatory for the visaSchengen visa rules require travel medical insurance with a minimum of €30,000 (around AED 120,000) in cover, including emergency treatment and repatriation, valid across all Schengen countries for your entire stay. Your policy certificate is submitted with the visa application.
United Kingdom
Not mandatory, strongly advisedThe UK does not require insurance for a visa, but NHS treatment is not free for visitors and private medical bills are high, so comprehensive medical and cancellation cover is strongly recommended.
USA & Canada
Not mandatory, strongly advisedNo insurance is required for the visa, but medical costs in the USA and Canada are among the highest in the world. A high medical limit (USD 100,000+) is recommended for these destinations.
Umrah & Saudi Arabia
Health cover often includedBasic health insurance is usually included in the Umrah/visa fee, but many pilgrims add travel insurance for stronger medical limits, trip cancellation, and baggage cover.
Worldwide & Asia
RecommendedFor the Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and other holiday destinations, insurance is optional but recommended for medical emergencies, watersports, flight delays, and lost baggage.
Pricing
How much does travel insurance cost from the UAE?
There is no single fixed price — travel insurance is quoted per traveller based on a few key factors. That is why we give you a personalised quote on WhatsApp in minutes rather than a one-size price.
Age of travellers
Premiums rise with age, especially for travellers over 65; senior plans are priced separately.
Destination / region
Schengen, worldwide, and USA/Canada plans are priced differently based on local medical costs.
Trip length
A single short trip costs less than a long stay; frequent travellers save with an annual multi-trip plan.
Coverage level
Higher medical limits, cancellation cover, and add-ons like adventure sports increase the premium.
Number of travellers
Family and group plans are often cheaper per person than separate individual policies.
Pre-existing conditions
Declaring existing medical conditions can affect eligibility and price on some plans.
