Can I obtain travel insurance for visa purposes, and how quickly can I obtain it?

 

Yes, you can obtain travel insurance for visa purposes, and in fact, it is a mandatory requirement for obtaining a Schengen visa. 

To be accepted by embassies or consulates, the insurance must: 

• Provide coverage of at least €30,000 in medical expenses. 
• Be valid for the full duration of your stay in the Schengen area. 
• Include coverage for medical emergencies, hospitalization, and repatriation in the event of illness or death. 
• Be valid in all Schengen member states, rather than in a single country. 

How quickly can I obtain travel insurance for visa purposes?

You can usually obtain travel insurance for visa purposes very quickly, often on the same day or even within minutes: 

• Online purchase: Most insurers and comparison websites issue the policy and certificate immediately after payment. The certificate is sent by email in PDF format, which can then be printed and submitted with your visa application. This option may require additional time, as there are numerous packages offered by hundreds of travel insurance providers. Holiday planning should remain enjoyable, not stressful. 

• Travel agencies or local insurance offices: They can also issue the policy on the same day; however, depending on office hours and processing times, it may require several hours. 

With a Schengen Visa Itinerary, your travel insurance certificate is generated immediately after payment. A digital copy will be sent to your registered email and can be downloaded directly.
