Before Travelling to Europe, you must purchase a
Travel Insurance. Indeed, no one is immune from a health issue or an accident.
Travel insurance covers for medical expenses, for illnesses, injuries,
hospitalisation or other unfortunate events. Simply put, travel insurance helps
travellers cope better with unexpected expenses. With this financial support,
travellers will have peace of mind.
Schengen
visa: Insurance requirements
To obtain the Schengen visa, you must take out a
medical insurance. This insurance shall meet strict criteria, including:
• It must
guarantee a minimum coverage of €30,000 or $34,000;
• It must
cover all Schengen member countries;
• It must
cover the costs in the event of repatriation to your country of origin or
emergency health care.
Purchasing a travel insurance also covering for
illness is mandatory, but only for travellers who want to travel to the
Schengen area. Indeed, they must be covered during their stay in the European
territory. This applies to anyone, from students to holidaymakers, tourists and
people on business trips.
In case you have been granted a visa exemption, you
may choose the Visa Insurance of your choice, if you wish to do so. This is not
mandatory, but strongly advised because the costs in case of an accident are
very high in the Schengen area.
Tips
On the Visa Travel Insurance for Europe
Before you take out any other Travel insurance, you
need to make sure that the insurance you now have covers all emergency medical
expenses. If your insurance policy covers your medical expenses abroad,
consider checking the limitations and restrictions of your travel insurance.
If you plan to travel by car to one of the Schengen countries
but have a limited budget, it is recommended that you take out a travel
insurance covering your luggage, including for theft, loss or car accident.
The risk of illness depends on the destination you
chose. It varies with climate change. People with illnesses such as allergies
are required to provide their medical records to their insurer. The record must
include all your medical history. In case of chronic illness, it is advisable
to take the necessary amount of medication with you.
