COMPULSORY ZANZIBAR INSURANCE
Are you going on a trip to Zanzibar? If so, there is an important new measure that you should be aware of: the Zanzibar Mandatory Travel Insurance. This mandatory travel insurance applies to every traveler, regardless of whether you already have your own travel insurance. In this article, we explain what this insurance entails and how you can easily arrange it.
WHY MANDATORY INSURANCE?
With this insurance, the government of Zanzibar wants to ensure that every traveler is adequately insured during their stay. Thus, both tourists and local authorities are better protected in case of unexpected situations. Even if you already have comprehensive travel insurance at home, you should take out this local insurance.
WHAT DOES ZANZIBAR MANDATORY TRAVEL INSURANCE COST?
The cost is 44 USD per person. You pay this amount in advance online through the official website of Visit Zanzibar. After payment, you will receive a confirmation with a QR code.
HOW DO YOU APPLY FOR INSURANCE?
Applying is easily done online through the official website. Fill in your details, pay the fee and immediately download your QR code. This QR code must be shown upon arrival at Zanzibar airport, so make sure you have it with you both digitally and printed. It is important to arrange this before departure, because without it you may encounter problems upon arrival.
WHAT DOES THE INSURANCE COVER?
Mandatory insurance provides basic coverage that covers the most important risks, such as:
- Emergency medical expenses;
- Repatriation costs;
- Personal accidents;
- Delay;
- Loss or theft of luggage;
- Court costs;
- Personal liability.
