Step-by-step cancellation process

- Step 2: Contact Sun Life by phone or email and state your intent to cancel, quoting your policy number.
- Step 3: Submit any required written confirmation or signed cancellation form as requested by the insurer.

What happens when you cancel
Policy termination
Cancellation ends your coverage from the cancellation date specified by the insurer or as outlined in the policy terms.
Once cancelled, you will no longer be eligible for benefits under that policy.
Data and renewals
Sun Life will retain records as required by law for compliance and audit purposes.
If you wish to obtain new cover later, you will need to apply again; underwriting and rates may differ from your original policy.
Will I get a refund?
Free look (30-day cooling-off)
Under UAE regulations there is a statutory 30-day "free look" period from the earliest of policy issuance, start of cover, or signing of documents.
If you cancel within this period you are entitled to a full refund of any premium paid without penalty.
After the free look period
- After the 30-day period, refunds are generally not available for life assurance policies.
- There is typically no maturity or cash value payable on cancellation after the free look.
- Refunds that are payable (during free look) must be returned via the original mode of payment.

Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates
Statutory protections
UAE life insurance consumers benefit from a 30-day free look period allowing cancellation with a full refund.
This cooling-off right begins from the earliest of policy issuance, cover start, or signing of documents.
Post-cooling period rights
- After the free look, there are generally no refund entitlements or cash surrender value for many life assurance products.
- If you have disputes, contact the insurer first; escalate to the relevant UAE financial regulator if unresolved.
Customer experiences
Positive notes
Some international Sun Life customers report satisfactory service and timely handling of routine queries.
Large international insurers often provide structured customer service channels and adviser support.
Reported issues
- Publicly reported issues in other markets include delays in responding to cancellation requests and difficulty obtaining refunds.
- Advisor unavailability or communication gaps have been mentioned in non-UAE review threads.
Documentation checklist
Essential documents to prepare
- Policy number and a copy of the policy contract.
- Valid passport or Emirates ID copy matching the policyholder details.
- Bank or card details used for payment (for refund processing during free look).
Optional supporting items
- Written cancellation letter signed by the policyholder.
- Proof of submission (email confirmations, postal tracking, or call reference numbers).
Common mistakes
Delaying the cancellation during free look
Waiting too long risks losing the statutory right to a full refund after the 30-day period.
Act promptly and keep dated records of your cancellation request.
Incomplete information or wrong contact route
Not providing the policy number, ID, or correct payment details can delay refunds and processing.
Using an incorrect or unofficial contact channel may cause miscommunication; use Sun Life's official customer service contact.
