Travel insurance for immigration, specifically for visa applications (e.g., Schengen), is a critical service providing mandatory medical, repatriation, and travel-related coverage. It ensures compliance with foreign, especially European, immigration requirements, often requiring a minimum of €30,000 in coverage. Key services include emergency medical treatment, evacuation, trip cancellation, and lost documents. 
Key Aspects of Immigration Travel Insurance:
  • Mandatory Requirements: Schengen countries and many other nations require proof of travel medical insurance, such as those provided by VFS Global, to process visas.
  • Coverage Details: Plans typically cover emergency medical expenses, hospitalisation, dental treatment, COVID-19 related issues, and repatriation.
  • Travel Protections: Policies cover non-medical issues such as loss of passport/documents, checked-in baggage loss, and trip cancellation.
