Asylum Seekers Insurance or Migrant Workers Insurance Not a favourite amongst Insurers due to previous claims experience. Normally comes with an expensive premium, with a high excess. If a Block of Flats Insurance or a converted Hotel is to be used for Asylum Seekers or Migrant Workers, usually the Insurers requirement will be to have it managed, have notices or house rules pinned to a board with the instructions in multiple languages for Health & Safety reasons.
