Afghanistan Insurance

Specialist Afghanistan insurance is essential if you are considering operations in this volatile country. Any insurance in Afghanistan – be it health and protection for your people, cover for property or liabilities, must include special war and terrorism provisions.

What's it like to operate in Afghanistan?

Over the 20 years that we’ve been protecting organisations, projects and people in Afghanistan, the level of risk has always been highly changeable. Developments during the summer of 2021 moved at a pace many had not expected and the Taliban regime is proving to be unpredictable.

With consular officials withdrawn by most Western governments, including the US and the UK, there is no official support on the ground and travel is not recommended. Terrorist attacks within Afghanistan are likely, particularly in major cities and around the airports.

Many of our clients ­– companies and NGOs involved in rebuilding and developing infrastructure and civil society – have withdrawn. The FCDO advises that there is a heightened risk of detention of British nationals. The British Government may not be notified about such detentions; communications with next of kin may not be guaranteed; and detention may be lengthy.

If you are considering visiting Afghanistan, perhaps as a media, NGO or political consultant, please contact us and we’ll consider how best to provide protection for your specific trip.
