How to Buy Travel Insurance for an Iceland Visa Application (Schengen Visa)Which type should you buy?
When selecting your travel destination coverage, choose Thailand - Schengen or Thailand - Worldwide. Do not purchase a policy specifying a single country name, as it cannot be used for a Schengen visa application.
How much coverage limit should you purchase??
Select a policy with a coverage limit of at least 30,000 EUR for the following 4 risk categories:
1. Benefits for accidental death, loss of limbs, sight, or total permanent disability, with coverage of at least 30,000 EUR
2. Medical expenses, actual payout maximum, with coverage of at least 30,000 EUR
3. Emergency medical evacuation or repatriation to Thailand, with coverage of at least 30,000 EUR
4. Repatriation of mortal remains to your home country, with a minimum coverage limit of 30,000 euros
Coverage Duration:
Coverage must start from the date you depart from Thailand until the date you arrive at an airport in Thailand.
For example:
Outbound: Depart Thailand on June 1, arriving at your destination airport on June 2.
You must purchase insurance starting from June 1
Return: Depart Iceland on August 1, arriving in Bangkok, Thailand on August 2.
You must purchase insurance valid until August 2
Additional Advice:
We recommend purchasing your policy from an insurance provider that offers a refund if your visa application is not approved.
