Travel Insurance The Indian Consulate in Dubai tweeted on Monday that Indians heading to the UAE must purchase travel insurance. The Consulate has often repeated the message to travellers from India. There have been numerous cases in the past where travellers have had to seek medical attention or repatriation. The Indian Consulate helps Indian travellers in such times of distress. However, the Consulate says that such expenses do not come under their scope. Why should you buy travel insurance? Most travellers ignore the benefits of a low-cost travel insurance policy. Such policies very often than not, come very handy in handling unexpected expenses during travelling. Your travel insurance may cover unexpected expenses like medical costs to lost luggage. It also ensures quick and cost-effective coverage for any untoward incident that might happen on a trip. There have been many cases where people have travelled to the UAE with no insurance. One cannot predict when one might fall ill or become a victim of an accident. In worst-case scenarios, some of them have even died in the UAE. Medical costs in a foreign country can quickly drain your pocket. Not to mention, repatriation costs can also be overwhelming. Repatriation costs to India alone can cost anything up to Dh 30,000. The price can significantly increase if you take into account medical costs in case of sickness or accidents. Such high costs can often leave your friends, family members as well as social workers in a lurch. Based on your insurance cover, you may be able to recover costs related to
  • Medical expenses
  • Visa cancellations
  • Flight cancellations
  • Repatriation etc.
Travellers to the UAE may buy travel insurance online for as less as Dh 55 (INR 1,000 approx.) for short trips. Other insurance which may cost up to Dh 185 may cover you for three months which is usually how long a Visit Visa is valid for in the UAE. The sum insured in such policies is around Dh 183,600 and covers medical expenses, visa and flight cancellations, lost baggage etc. Y-Axis offers a wide range of visa and immigration services as well as products to the aspiring overseas immigrants including Y-International Resume 0-5 yrs, Y-International Resume (Senior Level) 5+ yrs, Y Jobs, Y-Path, Resume Marketing Services One State and One Country.
