    EMBASSY OF SWITZERLAND IN EGYPT

    TRAVEL HEALTH INSURANCE FOR VISA APPLICTION

    Instructions for the submission of a travel health insurance in connection with a Schengen Visa
    Application

    In order to apply for a short stay visa in the Schengen Area (visa category “C”) it is mandatory to include a
    valid Travel Health Insurance in the application.
    Additional information about the complete set of documentation necessary for a visa application is
    available on our website: www.eda.admin.ch/cairo

    The Travel Health Insurance must fulfill the following requirements:

    • Minimum cover: EUR 30’000.— per person

    • The insurance must be valid for all Schengen States

    • The insurance company must have a branch in a Schengen State or in Lichtenstein

    • The insurance must include repatriation costs in case of illness, medical emergency assistance
    and/or emergency hospitalization for healthy persons without pre-existing illness

    Note:
    Applicants should be aware that insurance policies often contain references to significant exclusions or
    limitations in relation to activities, medical conditions, etc. For example in case of pre-existing illnesses,
    which limit the coverage offered or exclude it entirely. It is the responsibility of the applicants to check the
    policies before signing.
    The Embassy recommends insurances with full coverage, but cannot be held responsible if the insurance
    company refuses payment for non-covered services.
    Misunderstanding or problems between the insurance company and the insurance person are a matter of
    private law.
