(Juba) – UAP Insurance South Sudan has launched an online travel insurance platform aimed at providing coverage for South Sudanese travellers heading abroad. The service offers peace of mind to individuals by covering unexpected events while they are on the move.
The new travel insurance plan allows users to apply online, offering a convenient way to secure cover before travelling. Through the official UAP insurance portal for South Sudan, customers can access various policy options designed to protect them from risks such as medical emergencies, loss of luggage, or trip delays.
The move comes at a time when more South Sudanese are travelling for education, health, and business purposes, especially to neighbouring countries. The initiative aims to reduce the financial and emotional burden that can come from unexpected travel incidents.
With growing demand for cross border travel and regional integration, insurance companies like UAP are increasingly looking to support citizens’ mobility.
For many in South Sudan, travelling outside the country comes with challenges, including high costs and minimal access to support services when abroad.
UAP’s campaign encourages users to “Travel Worry Free” by focusing on their journeys while the company handles the unexpected.
The platform also offers assistance through a toll free customer service line: 2211. This allows travellers to make inquiries or get support directly from the UAP team based in South Sudan.
No specific premium cost was publicly listed in the campaign material. Typical regional travel insurance policies range from SSP 35,000 to SSP 105,000 (equivalent to approximately $5–$15 at the official rate, or slightly less using parallel market rates). This cost depends on the travel destination, age of the traveller, and type of cover selected.
With air and land travel increasing steadily out of Juba and other regional hubs, insurance providers are responding to the need for safety nets that support cross border mobility.
UAP’s digital insurance drive marks a small but timely step in building confidence in formal financial products in South Sudan’s emerging market.
