Why Abbeygate for Immigration Health

Cover that actually clears
the immigration desk

We’ve been arranging IMG residency cover for British expats in Greece for years. We know which tier fits which permit type, what the immigration office actually checks, and how to format the certificate so it doesn’t come back with a request for clarification.

01

Right tier for the permit

Bronze is enough for some visa categories, Silver / Gold Plus for others. We’ll match the plan to the actual permit category so you don’t over- or under-buy.

02

Format the authorities expect

Certificate, IPID and Policy Wording in the layout the immigration office is used to seeing. We’ve never had a policy rejected for documentation issues.

03

Renewals on time

We tag your renewal date to the residency permit cycle so the cover is in place before the immigration desk asks for it — not the other way round.
