Depending on the situation within a country, our insurance provider may not cover your trip, and cannot assist you in an emergency.
Check if:
- The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advise against all or all but essential travel to any part of the destination country. Keep this under review right up to departure and during the trip as the situation may change quickly.
- You will be travelling to a country or visiting a person to or in (Iran, Cuba, Syria, Sudan, North Korea,Venezuela, Russia or Crimea Region of Ukraine) where sanctions (pdf) have been imposed by the UK, EU or the USA. Insurance cover cannot not be provided to these named countries without the completion of the questionnaire and acceptance by the College brokers and insurers.
If the above is applicable:
- Complete the Off Site Working Emergency Response Plan (docx). See Offsite Work Emergency Response Procedure on Safety's website for more guidance.
- Complete the Sanctions questionnaire (excel) and return to insurance@imperial.ac.uk for authorisation of the travel insurance if travelling to Iran, Cuba, Syria, Sudan, North Korea, Venezuela, Russia or Crimea Region of Ukraine. Further information on completing the sanctions questionnaire can be found in the LUPC Sanctions guidance. (pdf)
- Obtain approval from your Head of Department (check Faculty policy if applicable).
- Contact Insurance@imperial.ac.uk with your completed risk assessment and if necessary your sanction form, for confirmation of cover. If your trip is within 4 weeks, please mark as urgent.
