Why Abbeygate for Immigration Health

Cover that fits the application,
sold by people on the Algarve

We’ve been arranging IMG cover for British and international expats moving to Portugal for years. From our Boliqueime office we know which tier suits which visa route, and how to format the certificate so the paperwork doesn’t come back for clarification.

01

Right tier for the route

The D7 and other routes have different expectations. We’ll match the IMG tier to your visa route so you don’t over- or under-buy.

02

Format the application expects

Certificate, IPID and Policy Wording in the layout consulates and immigration offices are used to seeing — supplied in English.

03

Renewals on time

We tag your renewal date to your residency cycle so cover stays continuous through permit renewals — not the other way round.

Immigration FAQs

Common questions about immigration health cover

It depends on the route. For the D7 and most residency categories, applicants typically choose Silver or Gold Plus for broader cover, though Bronze can be enough for some situations. Tell us the visa you’re applying for and we’ll match the tier.
IMG plans are widely used by expats for Portuguese residency and visa applications, including the D7. We supply the certificate and documents in the format applications expect. We always recommend confirming the exact requirement with your immigration lawyer or the relevant consulate.
Once we receive payment the policy is bound immediately. The IPID, Policy Wording and certificate are emailed the same day in English — ready for your application or appointment.
Yes. IMG plans pay claims at the major Portuguese private hospitals (Lusíadas, CUF, HPA on the Algarve) with direct settlement at most network providers. The plan also works elsewhere in the EU and (depending on tier) worldwide.
No. The policy renews annually — we contact you 30 days before renewal with terms. As long as cover continues without a break, you keep continuous proof of insurance for permit renewals.
