Schengen Visa Traveler Insurance
Get Travel Medical Insurance That Meets Current Schengen Visa Requirements
Traveling on a Schengen visa is one of the most convenient ways to experience Europe. A Schengen visa will allow you to visit and move freely between the 26 countries that make up the Schengen Area.
But before you are approved for a Schengen visa, you will need to gather all of the required documents. One such requirement is having travel medical insurance that meets Schengen visa insurance requirements.
Below, we outline what you need to make sure you have qualifying travel medical insurance for your trip to the Schengen Area in 2024.
