Important Notes:

Visa Application Requirements:

  • Visa applicants must possess adequate and valid travel medical insurance covering repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention, emergency hospital treatment, or death.
  • For single or double entry visas, insurance must cover the entire period of the intended stay in Schengen states.
  • For multiple entry visas, insurance must cover the period of the first intended visit. Applicants must also acknowledge the need for insurance for subsequent stays.
  • The minimum coverage required is EUR 30,000.

Insurance Validity:

  • The insurance must be valid throughout the entire territory of the Schengen states.
  • It must be taken out in the applicant's country of residence or in any other country where claims against the insurance company can be recovered in a Schengen state.

Additional Considerations:

Group and Corporate Travels:

  • For corporate travel and group travels, the consular posts can verify individual coverage through the Travel Insurance Portals of Non-Life Insurers of the General Insurance Council.
  • If verification fails, a new travel medical insurance policy may be required for visa approval.
