Travel insurance for Indian in UK with Tier 2 visa

Post by rdiv89 » Mon Oct 22, 2018 10:51 am

Hello,

I am an Inidan passport holder in UK with Tier 2 visa valid till 2020 and my wife has Tier 2 dependent visa.
We are in the process of applying Schengen visa through Germany.
For this we need to get a Travel Insurance, but when ever I read the policy documents (of several different providers) it says that the policy holder should be a 'permanent UK resident' which I am not. I am just an UK resident.
Can any one please direct us to a correct travel insurance provider?
OR
this 'permanent UK resident' clause is not important?

Thanks you in advance!

This!! Anyone living in the UK on a valid non visitor visa can apply for travel insurance. Most people have it as part of their bank account benefits if you have a qualifying bank account.

It depends on the account you have, not all accounts come with benefits.

yes you are right.
I need to switch to a £10 monthly fee account but I can buy an annual insurance online for £25.
Thanks again:)
