Is your travel medical insurance compliant with Schengen visa requirements and does it include emergency treatment and repatriation?

Yes, when the European cover is selected, our travel medical insurance includes the key benefits required for Schengen visa travel and provides essential protection while travelling within the Schengen Area.

The policy covers emergency medical treatment resulting from sudden illness or accidental injury during your trip.

This includes:

  • Treatment by doctors and specialists
  • Hospitalisation
  • Surgery
  • Prescribed medication
  • Emergency dental treatment for pain relief

These benefits are designed to meet the medical insurance requirements commonly requested as part of a Schengen visa application.

In addition, emergency medical evacuation and repatriation are included as standard benefits. If you require medically necessary transport to another medical facility or to your home country, the policy also covers evacuation by air or road ambulance, subject to medical advice and policy terms. Repatriation of mortal remains is also included, ensuring comprehensive cover in serious and unforeseen circumstances.

This cover applies when Europe is chosen as your area of cover, and your insurance certificate will clearly state coverage details. The insurance documentation can also be used to support your Schengen visa application, provided it meets the specific requirements of the issuing embassy or consulate.
