Thousands of travelers trust us to get their Schengen visa insurance

Insurance is a mandatory document for your visa file

Every Schengen visa application must include a travel insurance certificate covering at least 30,000 euros in medical expenses, valid across the entire Schengen area, including emergency hospitalization and medical repatriation, as required by Article 15 of the Visa Code. Without it, your file is incomplete and will not be accepted.

Where to submit your application

Applications are processed through the centers designated by each destination: Capago for France, VFS Global for most other Schengen countries, with centers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban. The printed insurance certificate is on every checklist.

How much does it cost?

Two-week plans start around 15 to 25 euros (roughly R300 to R500) per traveler depending on age. Pay online with any international card; rand-denominated cards with international payments enabled work normally.

Tourist, business, student or family visit

Whether for a short-stay visa (tourism, business), a long-stay visa or a family visit, the certificate must cover the exact travel dates in the applicant's name. A relative abroad can purchase the policy on behalf of the traveler.
