Anyone who is going to apply for a short-stay Schengen visa (maximum 90 days) for a foreign guest must provide a number of mandatory documents, including a policy of a medical travel insurance.
According to the visa code medical travel insurance is mandatory because a foreign guest must be insured against emergency medical assistance and repatriation (return to the home country). Without medical travel insurance, no visa for the Netherlands will be issued.
What requirements must the compulsory travel insurance for a Schengen visa meet?
De Schengen visa travel insurance must cover any expenses related to repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical care and/or emergency hospital treatment. The travel insurance to be taken out must be valid for the entire Schengen area, have a minimum cover of € 30.000 and cover the entire duration of the intended stay. Proof of the insurance policy must be submitted when submitting the visa application.
Can I take out travel insurance for a visa in the Netherlands?
