- Comprehensive cover available to individuals, corporate and leisure operators, offering peace of mind for any visitor
- Insurance meets heightened demand for travel health insurance created by new UAE visa rules
Lifecare International, one of the UAE’s most reputable providers of health and travel insurance, today announced the launch of affordable premium travel health insurance, responding to the significant increase in demand for travel health insurance products since the introduction of new visa rules for visitors to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The insurance policy has been designed in conjunction with International Health Insurance (IHI), a subsidiary of the world renowned BUPA group.
The move is in line with ministerial decision No. 322/2008, which affects all applications for visas in the UAE.Under new UAE visa rules, medical health insurance is now mandatory for a visa application. The IHI/BUPA travel health insurance from Lifecare International caters to both citizens from countries requiring medical insurance as a visa pre-requisite, and to those Western visitors (from exempt countries) who arrive in the UAE without any insurance, but can still purchase the insurance on arrival.
Mr. Ameet Devani, Director, Travel Services, Lifecare International, said, “Our objective is to provide a high-quality, comprehensive travel medical cover to discerning travellers to ensure them of complete peace of mind during their stay in the UAE. Other insurance policies, very cheap to purchase, are offering the bare minimum of cover which will not be adequate in a real medical emergency. Our premium travel health insurance policy has already been embraced by reputable corporates, travel agents, tour operators and high-end hotels, confirming the real value of the policy we have on offer and clearly demonstrating the level of trust in our services.”
The comprehensive IHI/BUPA travel health insurance policy offers unlimited worldwide cover per person for in-patient and out-patient care in the event of an emergency. It is available to individuals up to 79 years of age for inbound and outbound travel, and covers sporting and certain hazardous activities that other policies often only provide at extra cost. Direct payment of hospital bills (in-patient only) and a 24 hour world-wide emergency service is also included.
The Travel Insurance division of Lifecare International was formed in 2005, with the objective of fully servicing the needs of individual clients, corporates and the broader travel community, including travel agents, tour operators, airlines and strategic channel partners.
