Full guide to Schengen visa insurance requirements

Applying for an Italy visa

Files are submitted at the centers designated by Italy in your country (VFS Global in many countries) or at the consulate. The insurance certificate matching your exact dates is on the checklist. If Italy is one stop in a multi-country trip, the file goes to the main destination country; the insurance covers the entire Schengen area regardless.

Healthcare costs in Italy

Uninsured visitors pay for care in full; emergency hospitalization runs to thousands of euros. The coverage your visa requires protects you across Italy, from Milan to Sicily.
