Schengen Visa, which allows for travel within 26 European countries, comes with specific insurance requirements, as Schengen Visa Info outlines. Travellers must meet these requirements, which include coverage for emergency medical expenses, repatriation of remains, and a minimum coverage of €30,000. 

Medical costs in some European countries can be excessive. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, a single day's hospitalisation in Switzerland can cost around US$1,000. Having Schengen insurance is a must to avoid unexpected financial burdens.

This insurance isn't limited to a particular demographic; it's designed to offer coverage for global travellers, including  

  • Senior citizens up to the age of 85
  • Individuals traveling for work
  • Children between the ages of 1-18 and
  • Families

Not every traveller needs a Schengen Visa for Schengen Area visits, given that countries such as the U.S.A., Mexico, Brazil, and Canada maintain visa-free agreements with the Schengen Zone. Nevertheless, it is highly advisable to secure insurance since your medical expenses, or any potential costs arising from unexpected incidents during your journey, may lack coverage without proper travel insurance. Opting for travel insurance is particularly beneficial if you intend to explore multiple Schengen countries or desire flexibility in your itinerary, offering comprehensive coverage across most European nations.

Our Schengen travel insurance will help you get your Schengen visa and offer protection while travelling in Europe. You’ll receive the mandatory insurance certificate for your Schengen visa application.
