Issuing a policy in the Czech Republic

Any insurance company that offers a similar product can help with the application of a policy. But you will save time if you apply for an online electronic version, which has equal legal force to a paper one, is accepted by any organizations and meets all the necessary standards.

Why do you need a policy in the Czech Republic?

Insurance covers medical expenses - this is its purpose. Seeing a doctor abroad is much more expensive compared to the cost of the policy. Even if you are sure that everything will go smoothly, you should not save on travel insurance; by purchasing an electronic or paper version of the policy, the traveler ensures financial security abroad when visiting doctors.

The document is required for visa application. Since the Czech Republic belongs to the Schengen zone, to visit the country, if you do not have a biometric passport, you must open a Schengen visa. For this reason, the insurance policy must meet the following requirements:

• minimum coverage of 30,000 euros;
• no deductible;
• valid in the territory of the Schengen countries.

You do not need to open a visa if you:

• hold a biometric passport;
• plan to stay in the Czech Republic for no more than 90 days;
• travel without the purpose of earning money.

Travel insurance in the Czech Republic is mandatory, since with its help you can get rid of unnecessary expenses for doctors if the latter's services are needed abroad.

Cost of a policy in the Czech Republic

Basic medical services are initially included. If you want to engage in any sport abroad, for example, skiing, this should be indicated when applying for the document.

• the duration of the trip.

The minimum coverage required by the Schengen visa rules is included in the basic set of services. Expanding the insured events leads to an increase in coverage, but the price of the final product will also increase.
