Insurance to the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a Schengen area, with the exception of certain territories that will be mentioned later in the text. If a resident of Ukraine does not have a new biometric passport, he will have to apply for a visa, for which it is mandatory to take out travel insurance for the Netherlands.

This requirement is not met if the tourist is traveling to one of the following territories:

1. Aruba
2. Curacao
3. St. Maarten
4. Caribbean Netherlands

These territories are excluded from the Schengen Agreement, so a visa is not required to visit them.

The meaning and purpose of travel insurance

Any traveler may need medical care abroad. The problem lies in the final bill: abroad it increases many times. The insurance company covers part of the costs (or all of them, depending on the amount).

In addition to medical expenses, a traveler may encounter other troubles during their trip: flight delay or cancellation, loss or delay of luggage, theft of documents, etc. All this and much more can be insured if these events are included in the policy when applying for it.

Thus, the document not only protects you during your trip, it makes it safer and more comfortable in all respects. The cost of the policy is many times less than the amount you would have to pay if any of the insured events occurred.

Cost of a policy for a trip to the Netherlands

The destination country is only one of the factors affecting the price. Other aspects include:

1. Number of insured persons and age of each of them.
2. Expected duration of stay there.
3. Number of additional events that were mentioned when applying for the policy as insured.

The price calculation is done in 30 seconds, and the document itself can be quickly and easily issued online.

Payment of compensation is carried out in one of the following ways:

1. The clinic issues an invoice to the insurance company, which pays it.
2. The traveler is responsible for the costs of paying for medical services, which will later be reimbursed to him in his homeland upon presentation of the relevant documents.

The choice of the appropriate policy depends on the specific insurance company.

Insured event: procedure

In the event of any event that provides for the possibility of applying for compensation, the agent should be notified in advance by calling the numbers indicated on the form. The specialist will tell you which medical institution to contact.

A deviation from this requirement is allowed only if the delay threatens the patient's life. In such a situation, you can inform the specialist immediately after providing assistance.

In other cases, such behavior may be a reason for refusing to pay compensation.
