Medical insurance and visa runs

Hi everyone

I know a lot of people live/stay in Dubai via the visa run route and was hoping someone could tell me how you manage for health/medical insurance if you do this?

Do you get extended holiday insurance from your home country (where you are still technically resident) or can you get local cover with out a visa?

Many thanks

Just to clarify I don't mean insurance for the run itself, I mean health cover for your overall stay in Dubai - say 6 months.

Only if your doing visa runs you obviously don't have medical cover through work so hoping someone can explain best/cheapest ways to get cover with out employment or a visa.

Thanks!

There are a couple of "expat plans" at Aetna Global Benefits (International Health Insurance | Worldwide Health Insurance - Aetna Internation) that may be applicable in your case. Give them a call
