When applying for a Schengen visa, you must provide proof of travel insurance. Below are the key points to help you choose a visa-approved policy:
- Coverage Requirements
The insurance must cover at least €30,000 in medical expenses, including emergency medical treatment and repatriation in case of death. - Validity Across Schengen Area
Your policy should be valid in all 27 Schengen countries. This ensures you’re covered no matter which country you visit. - Minimum Duration
The insurance must cover your entire stay in the Schengen zone, from the day you enter until the day you leave. - Emergency Medical Coverage
The policy should include coverage for unexpected medical issues, accidents, and emergency hospital stays, which is essential for visa approval. - Repatriation Coverage
In case of serious illness or death, the insurance must cover the cost of returning you to your home country, another requirement for a Schengen visa. - Choosing Reputable Providers
Select a policy from recognized insurance companies. Most Schengen embassies accept policies from trusted international insurers. - Additional Travel Benefits
Some policies offer additional benefits like trip cancellation, lost luggage, and travel delays. These extras can be helpful but are not mandatory for visa approval. - Understand the Fine Print
Before purchasing, read the policy carefully to ensure it meets Schengen visa requirements, especially coverage limits and exclusions. - Affordable Options Available
You can find Schengen travel insurance policies for as low as €1 per day, making it an affordable necessity for your trip. - Proof of Insurance
Once purchased, ensure you receive a certificate of insurance to include with your Schengen visa application.
Choosing the right Schengen travel insurance is essential for a smooth visa application and a safe trip.
