Travel Insurance policies for travelling to Europe that fulfil Schengen Visa requirements can be purchased online directly on the website of Schengen Visa Itinerary.

What Is Presumably Excluded or Optional In a Common Schengen Insurance Policy?

Every travel insurance company is different; however, there are ones that offer to cover additional costs if necessary. If not, additional insurance must be purchased to cover explicit costs like:

•        Pre-existing conditions (e.g. Asthma, diabetes)

•        Sports with an element of risk (e.g. skiing, scuba diving)

•        Travel to high-risk countries (e.g. Due to war, natural disasters or acts of terrorism)

•        Acute onset of pre-existing conditions – It means a sudden and unexpected occurrence of pre-existing medical conditions without any prior warning from a health care professional. If you have pre-existing conditions, make sure to get this coverage to protect you against any emergency situation that arises due to pre-existing conditions despite taking care.
