Frequently Asked Questions

Is travel insurance compulsory for Europe / Schengen?

Yes — travel insurance with minimum €30,000 medical coverage is legally required for a Schengen visa. Without it, your visa application will be rejected. Ensure the policy covers the entire Schengen zone and all dates of your trip.

Does the EHIC card replace travel insurance in Europe?

No. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or GHIC only covers emergency state healthcare in EU countries — it does not cover repatriation, trip cancellation, lost baggage, or private medical treatment. Full travel insurance is still needed.

What is the minimum insurance for a Schengen visa?

The minimum required is €30,000 medical coverage valid for all Schengen area countries for the full duration of your trip. EKTA and other providers offer Schengen-compliant policies specifically designed for visa applications.
