Planning a trip to Europe from Bangladesh? Before you book your flights, there is one document the embassy will not let you skip — travel insurance with a minimum of €30,000 medical coverage. This guide explains everything you need to know.

Why is travel insurance mandatory for a Schengen visa?

All 29 Schengen countries legally require visitors to carry travel insurance that covers emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, and repatriation throughout the Schengen area. Without a valid certificate, your visa application will be rejected — no exceptions.

What must the policy cover?

• Minimum €30,000 medical coverage
• The entire Schengen area, not just one country
• The full duration of your trip
• Emergency medical evacuation and repatriation of remains

How much does it cost?

The premium depends on your age, trip length, and destination. A typical short Europe trip costs only a small fraction of what a single day in a European hospital would cost you out of pocket.
