Health Insurance Cover Details

Health insurance designed
around how expats live

Cyprus has excellent private healthcare — but pricing varies wildly between clinics and the public GeSY system has long waits for non-urgent specialists. A private health policy fills the gap, and a residency-compliant plan keeps your visa on side. We offer the full IMG range plus the residency-specific Britt Immigration Health plan, so you only buy the cover you actually need.

✓ IMG plans cover GP visits, hospitalisation, day patient and specialist access
✓ Optional dental, optical and maternity add-ons across all tiers
✓ Britt Immigration Health meets Cyprus residency permit requirements
✓ Cosmos Medical (Greek-paper plan) available for cross-border residents
✓ Annual policy with no exit penalties — cancel any time

01

Full IMG range — one place

We carry every IMG tier so we can match the cover to your situation. No upselling, no “we only sell Platinum”. Bronze if Bronze is what you need.

Britt Immigration Health is the plan Cyprus Civil Registry & Migration accepts for permits. We’ve never had a policy rejected. We send the documents in the exact format they want.

03

We help when you claim

IMG runs the claim direct with the clinic in most cases. When there’s friction, we step in. Our office in Paphos has been doing this since 2006.

Health FAQs

Common questions about health cover

Yes — Cyprus Civil Registry & Migration require proof of private health insurance for residency permit (MEU1 / MEU3) applications and renewals. Britt Immigration Health is the plan most expats use — it’s designed to meet the exact requirements they ask for.
It depends on whether you split time with the UK, your age, and whether you want dental/optical/maternity included. Bronze covers accident & emergency only; Silver adds in-patient hospitalisation; Gold adds out-patient (GP visits + specialists); Gold Plus adds maternity; Platinum is full worldwide cover including the USA. Most retired expats settle on Silver or Gold. Call us — we’ll talk it through.
Yes. Many expats register for GeSY (which is now mandatory for residents) and keep private health insurance as a top-up for faster specialist access, private hospital rooms, and dental/optical cover.
IMG plans are international by design — if you move within Europe your cover usually continues unchanged. If you move outside Europe or to the US, we’ll switch you to the right international plan at the next renewal (or sooner if needed).
Once we receive payment, the policy is bound immediately. The IPID and Policy Wording PDFs are emailed the same day, and the IMG membership card arrives within a few working days.
