IHI Schengen travel insurance ( BUPA Group ) - for people applying for an entry visa to the Schengen area

The IHI Schengen Travel plan offers protection if you have a sudden, unexpected illness or injury when travelling to a country within the Schengen area (see list of Schengen countries below).

The plan has been specially designed to meet the regulations set up by the European Union. According to these regulations, people who apply for an entry visa to the Schengen area must prove that they have a valid medical travel insurance. The insurance must cover costs for emergency treatment, hospitalisation, urgent ambulance transportation and medical evacuation back to the home country. The insurance amount must be at least 30,000 euros.

IHI Schengen Travel complies with all these demands, and even gives you a higher insurance amount than required, namely 75,000 euros. You are covered on all types of trips to the Schengen countries, and after a year the policy is renewed so that you can use if again for next year's travel.

Choice of cover

You can choose between 2 different options, depending on how long you are staying in the Schengen area:

Schengen visa area - trips up to a maximum of 1 month

Schengen visa area - trips up to 3 months (within a 6 month period)

The benefits are the same for both options, only the period of cover and the premiums vary (click here to see the table of benefits).

If you need our help

In case of sudden illness or accident, IHI provides you with 24 hour Emergency Service. Our competent staff and doctors work day and night, and bills regarding hospitalisation are paid directly to the hospital. If you are hospitalised you must always notify IHI immediately so that we can send a guarantee of payment to the hospital.

In case of outpatient treatment by a doctor you must pay the bill yourself before claiming reimbursement. After this, you must send us the original, itemised and receipted bill together with a completed claim form in order for us to process your claim.

If you have a pre-existing condition

IHI Schengen Travel covers acute illness and injury occurring after you have started your trip abroad. In order for an illness to be covered it must be unexpected. Therefore, if you suffer from a condition before you begin your trip, this will normally not be covered.

If you have a pre-existing condition and if you are not sure whether the insurance provides coverage, you should send a medical report to IHI before your trip in order to get information about the cover in your particular situation.
