Full guide to Schengen visa insurance requirements

How the type C visa works

The short-stay visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Insurance must cover your exact travel dates, be valid in all member states, and provide at least 30,000 euros of medical coverage including emergency hospitalization and repatriation. It is the simplest, cheapest policy on the market: the only expensive mistake is not comparing.

Adjust the dates, not the coverage

Pricing is per day: match coverage to your real travel dates (with one day of margin each side). Keep the 30,000 euro minimum if you have no specific risk; upgrade only if the price gap is small, which the comparison shows instantly.
