If you're a homeowner in the UK and want to temporarily welcome Ukrainian refugees into your home as non-paying guests, you don't need to tell us. Your home insurance cover will stay the same and provide cover for visitors.

This applies for the first 12 months that any refugees live with you, including when your policy is due for renewal. After 12 months, if any refugees are still living with you, then you should tell us when you next renew your policy.

We'd encourage you to check your policy to make sure it covers your needs. Be aware of any existing terms in your policy that might apply to visitors and get in touch with us if you want to discuss your cover.
