European Residents Residents Travel Insurance FAQS
1. If I have an accident or become ill while away, will I be covered for emergency medical treatment?
Yes, these policies will cover Emergency Medical Treatment and Repatriation to your country of Residency.
2. Are there restrictions regarding which countries I can travel to?
No, but you should check beforehand what advice your government gives regarding where you can travel and if there are any restrictions on your travel plan.

If you are not a UK Resident, you may have to pay for medical treatment in the UK, up to 150% of the NHS costs. However, some UK Nationals who live in the EU may be able to receive free NHS treatment.
