Traveling to Germany & Europe - why is international health insurance necessary?

Traveling to Germany and Europe can be an exciting experience, but it's also important to prepare for unexpected situations, especially when it comes to health and safety. Incoming health insurance is necessary for several reasons:

  • Visa requirements: our incoming health insurance meets the requirements for a Schengen visa. In addition, you will receive a confirmation of insurance coverage, which is recognized by embassies, consulates or border stations.

  • Medical costs: Medical care in Germany and many other European countries is of high quality, but can also be expensive. Without international health insurance, you could be responsible for any medical expenses incurred during your stay.

  • Unforeseen illness or injury: No one plans to get sick or injured, but these situations can arise at any time. Having health insurance abroad gives you peace of mind knowing that you will be taken care of in the event of a medical emergency.

  • Repatriation costs: In severe medical cases, medical repatriation to your home country may be necessary. These costs can be astronomical, and expatriate health insurance can cover these costs.

  • Protection against unexpected situations: In addition to illnesses and injuries, expatriate health insurance can also provide protection in other unexpected situations, such as in the case of a dental visit or a lost prescription.
