Can I buy insurance after arriving in Russia?
Only if the insurer explicitly permits purchases after the trip starts; check the policy’s start time, waiting periods and exclusions since retroactive cover for known events is not permitted.
You can buy travel insurance after arriving in Russia only if the specific product explicitly allows purchases after trip commencement. Check the policy’s stated start time, any waiting periods and exclusions for events that occurred before purchase; many policies exclude cover for known or already‑ongoing incidents. You cannot lawfully buy retroactive protection for a loss that has already happened, so verify timing and effective‑from details before relying on post‑arrival purchase.
