Do you offer short term insurance for residents living in the UAE?

I’m living in the UAE and looking for temporary medical insurance until my job starts. Do you have something short term for me?

Question: I basically need temporary or short-term insurance to fill in the gap between now and when my employer starts offering me coverage. What are my options? 

Answer: Your options depend largely on your status in the UAE. If you are a tourist in the UAE, we can provide you with short-term coverage for the duration of your trip. However, if you’re a full-time resident in the UAE, we regret to inform you that we don’t have any short-term solution since short-term policies do not provide cover in the policyholder’s main country of residence.
