Is insurance valid against government travel advice?
Some policies exclude travel against official advice; obtain written confirmation from your insurer about coverage for Russia given your nationality and residency before travelling.
Maybe — some policies exclude cover for travel made against official government travel advice, so a trip contrary to advisories can invalidate cover. For example, the UK Foreign Office and similar bodies warn that travelling against their advice may affect insurance; you must get a written position from the insurer applying specifically to Russia, your nationality and your residency. Do not rely on marketing material; require a documented answer about cover and claims handling. Always separate official advice from the terms of any commercial policy and this website’s DEMO product.
