Medical Travel Insurance

When applying, you must provide proof of a valid medical travel insurance. You should also carry the insurance certificate with you during your trip. The insurance must cover costs of at least EUR 30 000 and be valid in all Schengen countries for the entire duration of your stay.

You can provide either a policy from an insurance company based in Europe or one of the locally based companies. 

  • The following categories are exempted from the requirement to hold medical travel insurance:

    • Holders of diplomatic passports
    • Applicants for an airport transit visa
    • Family members of an EU citizen (note: a Swedish citizen is not regarded as an EU citizen in this context). This includes:
      • Husband or wife
      • Registered partner
      • Common‑law spouse
      • Children under 21 years of age
      • Adult children who are financially dependent on their parents
