FAQs
Common questions about Explorer Travel Insurance
More questions and answers
I was diagnosed with COVID-19 and have fully recovered, am I able to purchase Explorer with COVID-19 coverage?

Yes, you are able to purchase the plan as long as you have fully recovered and are diagnosed as negative for COVID-19.

Will a self-administered test kit be sufficient to prove I am negative from COVID-19 before my departure?

We will follow all vaccination, pre-departure tests and post-arrival tests requirements imposed by the authorities.

For some countries, self-administered ART, PCR or other self-test kit will not be accepted for pre-departure COVID-19 test to fly out of Singapore.

You must make an appointment from the list of MOH-approved COVID-19 test providers found on MOH website (https://www.moh.gov.sg/licensing-and-regulation/regulations-guidelines-and-circulars/details/list-of-COVID-19-swab-providers).

Before my trip departure, I received an SMS that I am with a close contact of a positive COVID-19 case. Will the policy cover my trip cancellation?

The COVID-19 Trip Cancellation coverage is claimable if you are forced to cancel your trip within the 30 days that it was due to start as a result of you, a relative, or a travel companion being diagnosed with COVID-19 by a medical practitioner in Singapore.

Will I still receive COVID-19 coverage if my destination has been suspended from the permitted travel arrangement?

No. COVID-19 is only applicable should the trip is permitted under the latest permitted travel arrangement as per Singapore Government travel advisory.

You may refer to https://safetravel.ica.gov.sg/ for more information on the latest travel advisories issued by the Singapore government.

Is there any rule on authorized medical facility to certify that I am diagnosed with COVID-19 while overseas? Will a hard copy of medical certificate or receipt be required if the insured person is diagnosed and hospitalized overseas due to COVID-19?

A medical practitioner has to diagnose that you are positive with COVID-19 while overseas. You are required to provide us with supporting documents such as Inpatient Discharge Summary Report (IPDS), doctor’s memo or diagnosis indicated on the Medical Certificate.

A Medical practitioner is a person who is registered and legally qualified as a doctor, has a medical degree in Western medicine, and is authorized by the medical licensing authority of the relevant country to provide the medical or surgical services their licence and training relate to.

The medical practitioner cannot be the insured or an insured person, or:

  • their husband, wife or unmarried partner;
  • their business partner, employer, employee or agent;
  • their travel companion; or
  • any person who is related to an insured person or the insured in any way, including by marriage or adoption.
If I contracted COVID-19 upon my return to Singapore, am I covered under the policy?

The policy is designed to protect you during your overseas journey. If you are diagnosed with COVID-19 upon arriving in Singapore, after your journey, you will not be covered by the policy.
