Schengen visa and travel insurance

Contrary to some recently published information, there has been no change in the procedure of purchasing a travel insurance while applying for a Schengen visa. The conditions remain the same:

• Minimum insurance coverage of 30 000 EUR (34 000 USD). This limit can be raised to 50 000 EUR (56 000 USD) by some insurers;
• Extended coverage to all Schengen member states;
• Coverage of repatriation costs for medical reasons, urgent health care, emergency hospital care or death

All insurers without preference nor restriction are entitled to sell this cover.
