Do you purchase international travel insurance when traveling?

Yes, most experienced travellers purchase international Travel Insurance before going abroad. It is not only a smart precaution but also a requirement for entry or visa approval in many countries (for example, all Schengen countries require proof of travel insurance).

The following are the main reasons travellers typically purchase it:

1. Medical Emergencies — Coverage for hospital bills, doctor visits, and emergency evacuation abroad, which can be extremely expensive without insurance.

2. Trip Cancellations or Interruptions — Provides reimbursement if a trip must be cancelled due to illness, emergencies, or unforeseen events.

3. Lost Luggage or Delayed Flights — Offers compensation for lost baggage or expenses resulting from flight delays.

4. Visa Requirements — Many embassies, including those in Schengen, Asian, and Middle Eastern countries, require proof of travel insurance for visa approval.

5. Peace of Mind — It provides an additional layer of security, ensuring financial protection while traveling internationally.
