Why Should I Get Travel Insurance for Visa Application?

 

Schengen travel insurance is a mandatory insurance cover for travellers that protects them from unforeseen eventualities that can threaten their trip by providing financial support in various scenarios. These include medical emergencies, hospitalization expenses, accidents, lost/ delayed baggage, misplaced passport, flight delays and cancellations, and even third-party damage, among several other travel-related scenarios.

If the above situation hasn’t made you think twice about getting insurance for your upcoming travels, we can think of a few more reasons! Being able to have peace of mind in knowing you have insurance coverage for an unexpected accident, loss of baggage while overseas or hospitalisation in a foreign country are some of the main reasons why many travellers from all parts of the world choose to get insurance for their travels.

Here are a few reasons why:

•        Losing a travel investment is not something everyone can afford: whether it’s a magical honeymoon getaway or your first solo trip abroad, travelling is an expensive affair. Booking a cruise or other international vacation is always exciting, and losing the money you’ve worked long and hard for is a soul-destroying experience. Whether you fall ill and physically cannot travel or encounter a different reason which you have been covered for, having insurance for your travel experience can save you money - literally.

•        Getting sick overseas is expensive: many foreign medical facilities will require you to pay cash upfront for medical assistance, placing you in a difficult financial position. From a freak car accident that leaves you with broken bones to having to be flown via helicopter to the nearest hospital, medical emergencies are expensive locally, and even more so overseas. Getting the right insurance that comes with emergency medical benefits will ensure you are looked after for covered dental and medical emergencies while you are travelling. Having emergency medical transportation benefits will also cover you in the event of having no one to transport you to the nearest medical facility or take you home after an emergency hospital visit.
