Some travellers venturing to Western Europe must be in possession of a valid Schengen visa, and one of the requirements for the visa is to have travel insurance. Luma Health Insurance are your gateway to either health
insurance or travel insurance that meets the minimal medical coverage requirements of a Schengen Visa.
The Schengen Zone covers most of Western Europe but does not include the United Kingdom. This is excellent news for travellers as a single passport stamp is valid for as many participating countries as you like within a 90-day period.
However, before being granted a Schengen visa, applicants must prove that they have sufficient valid health or travel insurance to cover the cost of medical care in the unfortunate event of injury of illness during the trip. The key medical insurance requirements for this visa are:
• Coverage must be valid for a minimum of EUR €30 000;
• The coverage must be valid within the Schengen region for the full duration of stay;
• The travel insurance must cover any expenses which might arise in connection with repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or emergency hospital treatment or death.
Luma offers health insurance policies that more than satisfy the requirements of a Schengen Visa. The coverage offered by Luma provides for medical coverage in western Europe in the event of an unforeseen illness or accident. It also covers the sometimes high repatriation costs if you have to be flown back to your country of origin.
