    Insurance for work and travel in Asia

    Asia is not one type of risk.

    It ranges from some of the most complex conflict environments in the world to large-scale NGO, infrastructure and business operations across difficult and remote regions.

    We provide specialist insurance for non-combatants working across Asia, including places where standard insurers will not provide cover.

    What's included

    Specialist cover for Asia

    Accidental death and permanent disability
    Medical expenses
    Medical evacuation and repatriation
    24/7 emergency support through NGS

    Standard travel insurance may not apply across much of Asia, particularly in conflict-affected or sanctioned states.

    Mainstream policies commonly exclude war, political violence and civil unrest. Specialist cover is essential for journalists, NGO workers and contractors operating in high-risk environments across the region.

    Yes — Conflict Cover provides specialist insurance for Asia.

    Subject to full disclosure of your assignment, operating area and security arrangements. This cover is designed for journalists, NGO workers, contractors and other non-combatants who have a legitimate professional reason to be there.

    Restricted or difficult markets

    In some locations, official advice or insurer restrictions make cover difficult to obtain. This is where our model is designed to help.

    Operational, NGO and business travel

    These are countries where travel is common, but conditions can still vary significantly outside major cities.

    Why this is different

    What makes this different from standard insurance

    Most insurance is built for predictable travel. Asia is not always predictable.

    We focus on:

    • Where you are actually going
    • What you are actually doing
    • What happens if something goes wrong

    That allows us to provide cover in places and situations where standard policies often fail.

    Who this is for

    NGOs and humanitarian organisations
    Journalists and media teams
    Contractors and specialists
    Researchers and field teams
    Businesses operating in complex environments

    Does cover continue after returning home?

    Yes. Eligible benefits can continue after you return to your country of residence, subject to policy terms.
