FAQ · Q043

Can a Russian resident buy this travel policy?

Eligibility depends on the insurer’s residency and residence rules; a Russian residence permit may affect purchase rights and coverage territory, so confirm explicit allowance before buying.

Maybe — eligibility depends on the policy’s residency and permanent residence rules, so a foreign passport plus Russian residence permit does not automatically make you eligible for every product. Check whether the insurer’s territory of cover and eligibility criteria explicitly allow holders of your immigration status; some programmes restrict sale to certain nationalities or permanent residents only. Always verify purchase rights and territorial limits with the insurer in writing before travel and do not confuse commercial policy eligibility with official entry requirements. This website’s travel medical policy is illustrative only.

For foreign visitors to Russia: the selected insurer must confirm citizenship, residence, cover territory and the start date. A published example of a five-day post-arrival rule is not a universal condition. Read the source-backed visitor guide.
