Schengen Visa Insurance

Many European countries have come together to allow one visa known as the Schengen visa to be issued in order to visit several European countries. The Schengen visa has minimum requirements that must be met including specific travel insurance (including a letter which specifically states all benefits meet requirements). The policies we sell for this insurance category all meet these requirements and produce a “visa letter” for the purposes of applying for the visa. These requirements are the same for US citizens seeking long term visas for travel into Europe.

Persons of some nationalities are required to get insurance to visit any of the Schengen countries. The requirements for this insurance is not difficult to find. However, embassies and consulates require a coverage letter which spells out the benefits of the insurance. The policies we recommend here produce these letters fairly easily and, in most cases, the letters can be printed out almost immediately after the purchase of the policy. Furthermore, should your situation or travel plans change, you can get a full refund for the policy (except for the TraveLite policy) as long as you cancel before the start date of the policy.
