Can I pause my health insurance if I’m temporarily moving abroad?

Health insurance plans in the UAE generally cannot be put on hold. If you leave the country for a short period, your policy will usually remain active, provided you continue paying the premium.

The main points to keep in mind are:

• No Pause Option: Most insurers do not allow freezing or suspending a health insurance plan.
• Continuous Premiums: To keep the policy valid, regular premium payments must be maintained, even if you are abroad.
• Alternative Choices: If you are relocating for an extended period, you may need to cancel the policy and arrange new coverage in your destination country.
