The health insurance company must have an office located in the Schengen area or a cooperation agreement with an insurance company from a Schengen country.
When applying for a Schengen visa, the applicant must provide proof of insurance coverage. The applicant is exempt from this obligation in certain cases. This exemption applies to applicants who are assumed to have adequate insurance coverage due to their professional situation. Also, spouses and family members of EU citizens are not required to provide proof of health insurance coverage.
If you are not within one of these exceptions, it is advisable to pay attention to possible requirements when taking out travel health insurance. Some travel health insurance policies have lower coverage if you are over a certain age or do not meet certain health requirements. Also, travel health insurance with a deductible is accepted as sufficient insurance coverage only if the applicant is able to pay the deductible in the case of an emergency. |
