How to Buy Travel Insurance for a German Visa (Schengen Visa) Application: Which Type Should You Choose??
For your travel route, select Thailand - Schengen or Thailand - Worldwide. Do not purchase a policy specifying only individual country names, as it cannot be used for a Schengen visa application.
What is the required insurance coverage limit??
Purchase insurance with a minimum coverage limit of 30,000 EUR for the following 4 risks:
1. Benefits for death, loss of limbs, loss of sight, or total permanent disability resulting from an accident, with a coverage limit of not less than 30,000 EUR
2. Medical expenses, actual costs up to a coverage limit of not less than 30,000 EUR
3. Emergency medical evacuation or repatriation to Thailand, with a coverage limit of not less than 30,000 EUR
4. Repatriation of mortal remains, with a coverage limit of not less than 30,000 EUR
Number of Days Insured :
From the day your flight departs Thailand until the day you arrive back at an airport in Thailand
For example:
Outbound: Depart Thailand on June 1, but arrive at destination airport on June 2
You must buy insurance starting from June 1
Inbound: Depart Germany on August 1, but arrive in Bangkok, Thailand on August 2
You must buy insurance coverage up to August 2
Additional Advice:
We recommend purchasing your policy from an insurance company that offers a full refund if your visa application is rejected.
