What are the specific requirements for travel medical insurance (e.g., minimum coverage, repatriation)?

Travel medical insurance is a mandatory document for all Schengen visa applications, and it must meet specific coverage requirements set by the Schengen Agreement. Here’s what your insurance policy must include 👇 💶 1. Minimum Coverage Amount Your policy must cover at least €30,000 (about SGD 45,000) in medical expenses. This is required across all Schengen countries. 🌍 2. Coverage Area It must be valid for the entire Schengen Area, not just one country — even if you’re visiting only one. 🩺 3. Medical and Emergency Coverage • Emergency medical treatment. • Hospitalization costs. • Emergency evacuation or repatriation (return to your home country in case of illness, accident, or death). 📅 4. Validity Period Your insurance must cover the entire duration of your stay, including travel dates to and from the Schengen Area. 💡 Tip from Outbound Singapore: We can help you get a visa-compliant travel insurance policy instantly — recognized by all Schengen embassies, with easy digital proof for your submission.
