How to get health insurance for a Schengen visa?

Then we will give an algorithm for buying insurance through this search engine. Buying through is fundamentally no different.

1. First of all, follow the link to the Turtle site and fill in the main search fields: indicate the country of destination as All Schengen countries, write the dates of the trip, the number of travelers and their age and click "Find insurance".

2. All insurances for the Schengen visa appeared from the partners-insurers of Cherekhapa. At the top right, you can adjust the search conditions, change the amount of insurance, and also indicate additional conditions if you need an annual policy, or you are already traveling, or that you are not a citizen of the Russian Federation. However, if you are taking out insurance for a Schengen visa, you do not need these items.

3. Next, you need to set additional options. This point is very important, you should not skip it, especially if you have various specific diseases. Therefore, we click on the “details” button, under the block for indicating the amounts of insurance, and see what is included in the basic insurance of all insurers and which are not. Check the boxes next to the items that you would like to add to the insurance.

4. In addition to the basic set of options, all insurers also have some additional ones (each one has its own). To see this clearly, let's select several insurance policies, and you can immediately see which additional options are included in whose insurance policy. Very comfortably.

5. For each insurer, you can find out with which Assistance he works, whether or not there is a franchise (policies purchased through the Turtle do not), insurance rules, as well as a sample insurance.

6. If you are going to go in for sports, be sure to indicate this, because if you break your legs while skiing in the Alps, but your insurance does not indicate that you are going to go in for mountain skiing, you will be treated at your own expense. Therefore, indicate what kind of sport you are going to do.

You can also choose other options such as flight insurance, baggage insurance and so on, but this is not at all necessary.

7. In addition to this, at the very bottom of the search page there is a convenient sorting function by Assistance. For convenience, you can immediately check the boxes next to normal service companies, so as not to inadvertently buy the wrong thing.

8. So, you have chosen the insurance that suits you, click "Buy" and go to the registration. Here you need to add everyone who needs to be insured, indicate their data and the one who will pay for it all.

9. After that, the payment process takes place. You can pay by credit card.

After payment, you will receive an insurance file by e-mail, which you print out and submit along with the rest of the documents for a visa, and then take it with you to Europe.
