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. 

Please notify the Embassy if your insurance company refuses to pay for medical expenses incurred in the Schengen area, or if it refuses to give full refund in case of visa refusal upon presentation of official proof of rejection from the Embassy.

The following categories are exempt 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
    • Parents who are financially dependent on their children living in Sweden

Applicants residing in Thailand 

The insurance companies listed below are approved by the Local Schengen Cooperation in Thailand, but applicants may use other insurance companies not included on the list as long as they meet the requirements set out in the visa code.

Legal disclaimer:
The list may change over time, and the Embassy accepts no responsibility for its accuracy.
