Question 1

Is my country of residence the same as my nationality?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Your nationality generally refers to your citizenship, while your country of residence is where you normally live. The two can be different.

Question 2

Can I use my UK address for travel insurance if I live abroad?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't declare the UK as your residence simply because you have a British address. If your main home is overseas, you should declare your actual country of residence according to the insurer's requirements.

Question 3

Can I have two countries of residence for travel insurance?

Accepted Answer

Your circumstances may involve homes in two countries, but your insurer will need to determine how its residence requirements apply. Contact the provider before buying if you're unsure which country to select.

Question 4

Does living somewhere for three months automatically qualify me for OGSure insurance?

Accepted Answer

No. OGSure generally considers where you've lived or worked for more than three consecutive months, alongside your usual home and intended return country. Other eligibility requirements also apply.

Question 5

Can I buy OGSure travel insurance if I've recently moved abroad?

Accepted Answer

Potentially, but your eligibility depends on whether your circumstances meet OGSure's residency requirements. If you've recently relocated and aren't sure which country to declare, contact OGSure before purchasing.
