What you need to know when applying for a Schengen visa insurance?

An Introduction

The Schengen visa eases the headache of traveling in 26 countries in Europe between its European member countries. Using a Schengen visa, the visa holder can travel to any or all European member countries using one single visa that does not require the hassle of applying for a new visa every time they want to enter a different Schengen country.

How to issue the visa?

Schengen visa applicants are required to submit proof of travel insurance (for a maximum travel time of 90 days within a 180-day time period), that meets the Schengen visa insurance requirement, to the visa issuing authorities in order to issue the travel visa. Plans listed on our Schengen page will all issue a visa letter upon purchasing a plan that you can submit as proof of insurance.

What is the difference between Schengen Visa and National Visa?

• Schengen visa (type C) is a short-stay travel document that allows visitors to enter and stay in one of the member countries for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The European country of destination decides on the type and amount that they will accept as visas.

• National visas (type D) are only valid for establishments or stays of more than 90 days in the country which issued them. However, some require a long-term stay and can travel freely throughout Schengen area while others will receive an ID card upon arrival that grants access to this privilege.
