Is it possible to extend the period of insurance after departure?

Yes, but the Insurer must be notified before the expiry of the travel policy and the extension is subject to an additional premium. Nevertheless, the trip after the extension must not exceed the day limit as stated in Q2.

If the reason of cancellation falls within the coverage of Cancellation of Trip, the insured will be indemnified for the unrecoverable travel fare or other expenses.

Can grandparents be included in the Family Plan?

No. The Family Plan includes parents and their children aged 6 months to 16 years old (on the day of departure). Grandparents and children who reach 17 years old will have to purchase their own travel policies.

Yes. The period of insurance should cover the whole journey, i.e., both departure and return dates are inclusive.

If the tour operator becomes bankrupt, can the Insured Person claim for indemnity under the policy?

No. A travel policy does not indemnify the Insured Person for any loss due to bankruptcy, liquidation, error, omission or default of any travel agency and tour operator. The insured will have to lodge his/her claim directly with the relevant party.

Must the first consultation be made abroad to be entitled to claim follow-up medical expenses in Hong Kong?

Yes, the Insured Person must receive the first medical consultation on the same illness or accident during the insured journey abroad before being entitled to claim the follow-up medical treatments in Hong Kong.
