We know how difficult it is to be overseas without a passport so we’ve designed our travel insurance to give you the extra level of support you need to get a replacement passport… fast.
How does travel insurance cover stolen passports?
You’re not going anywhere without a passport so World Nomads knows getting a replacement one is a pretty high priority. Our travel insurance plans can provide cover which includes:
- The cost of replacing the passport
- Necessary transportation charges to get to and from the authorities and consular office
- Cost of photos for the new passport
What’s not covered by travel insurance for a lost or stolen passport?
While we’ll help cover the cost of replacing your passport, some of the things we won’t cover include:
- Costs related to the time involved in replacing your passport
- Stolen passports if left unsupervised such as if you left it behind somewhere, mislaid it or if you didn’t take reasonable care to protect it
- Stolen passports when the theft was not observed when occurring
This is only a summary of cover and does not include the full terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions of the policy. You should read your policy wording in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. If you are unsure about your level of travel cover, please contact us for help.
Passport stolen in Bulgaria.
My wallet was stolen in a bus in Bulgaria, and I could not reach the thief. I could just see she was a woman. I lost my passport, my driving licence, and some other stuff such as some cash. I made a police report regarding the matter, which is in Bulgarian language. It says e.g. my passport and my driving lisence were stolen. I had to go to Finnish Embassy of Bulgaria to get a new passport. However, they only issued emergency passports so that is what I had to get. However, that only lasted for a month, and I had to get another proper passport (for 5 years -my previous passport before the theft was obviously this 5 year passport as well) now in Finnish Embassy of Sweden where I was at that time. Driving licence I could renew only in Finland, and because I came to Finland for the first time after my trip now during the summer 2015, I renewed my driving licence at this time.
