Travel Health Insurance

Travel Health Insurance

Travel Health Insurance covers medical expenses, accidental death and repatriation while you are on an international journey. It is also the proof of cover most embassies ask for before they will grant a visa — Schengen missions require it as a condition of entry. Cover runs from three days to five years, for a single trip or for multiple journeys within the period, and the certificate is issued as soon as your application is completed.
