    How to Choose the Right International Travel Insurance Plan

    Here are a few things to consider when purchasing an international travel insurance plan:

    Things You Should Know When You are Planning an International Trip

    Beyond just insurance coverage, there are several logistical and cultural factors which are essential to consider for a well-prepared international journey.

    Is Travel Insurance Mandatory for International Travel?

    International travel insurance is not mandatory for every international trip from India, but some countries require it as part of their visa process. Countries in the Schengen Area, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, require travellers to have valid travel medical insurance with specified coverage limits before a visa is granted.

    Even when not compulsory, overseas travel insurance is highly recommended for destinations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. A good policy can provide financial protection against medical emergencies, trip cancellations, flight delays, lost baggage and other unexpected travel-related expenses.

    Where Do Indians Get an Arrival Visa?

    Indian passport holders can obtain visas on arrival at over 20+ countries across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Some of the popular tourist destinations which issue visas directly at the port of entry include Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Cambodia, and Jordan.

    In addition, Indian travellers can enjoy easier entry or visa-on-arrival facilities in destinations such as Laos, Timor-Leste, Nepal, Seychelles, Comoros, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia and several other destinations that offer either visa-on-arrival.

    It is also necessary to note that not all countries listed above are strictly 'visa on arrival'. Some currently offer visa-free entry, e-visa, or ETA facilities instead. 

    What are The Requirements for Schengen Travel Insurance?

    • 1

      Minimum Medical Coverage:

      Schengan international travel insurance must provide at least a minimum set threshold of medical coverage for any emergencies and hospitalisation treatment.

    • 2

      Coverage Across Schengen States: The travel insurance policy must remain valid throughout all Schengen countries visited, ensuring uninterrupted protection during the entire journey. 

    • 3

      Emergency Medical Treatment:

      International Travel Insurance should cover any kind of unexpected illnesses, hospitalisation costs, doctor consultations and necessary medical care during travel.

    • 4

      Medical Repatriation Benefits: Policies must include repatriation coverage for returning travellers home due to severe illness, injury-related circumstances, or even death.

    • 5

      Entire Trip Coverage: The travel insurance policy must remain fully active from arrival until departure, covering every day of the trip you planned.

    • 6

      Recognised Insurance Provider: An International Travel insurance should be issued by a reputable insurer accepted by the Schengen authorities during the application review time.
