Why do I need a Schengen visa insurance?
To obtain a visa for Switzerland or the other Schengen states, sickness and accident insurance with a sum insured of at least CHF 30'000 is necessary. It is important that coverage extends to the whole Schengen area and is valid and until including travel rerturn end date with a low deductible.
Citizens from some countries, such as Brazil, do not need a visa, but still require travel insurance, which allows your guests to move freely in the Schengen area. With this type of medical expenses insurance from Allianz Travel (Schengen visa Insurance), your guests can get coverage starting at a low sum insured for a small premium.
As regulations can often change, it is advised to check visa requirements with the appropriate embassy or consulate. You can also find additional information on the website of the Federal Office for Migration. With Allianz Travel, you will find a Schengen travel insurance (or Travel insurance for Schengen visa Switzerland) plan that exactly meets these requirements.
