Introduction to the topic

Are you looking for a Wiener policy and wondering if this type of visa insurance meets the current requirements of consulates? The good news is that in most cases it does, as long as you choose the right option. In this guide, we have compiled the key criteria for Schengen and national visas and checked how Wiener measures up against them. You will also learn how to choose the sum and scope so that your visa is issued without unnecessary delays.

Insurance requirements for a visa

The standard for a Schengen visa requires coverage of medical expenses of at least EUR 30,000, including sudden illness and accident, medical repatriation, and transport of remains. The policy must be valid without any deductible and cover the entire Schengen area for the entire planned stay. For a national visa (type D), the consul usually accepts a policy that meets the Schengen criteria or medical insurance in Poland for the duration of entry, and then a policy in Poland or NFZ (National Health Fund).

Minimum requirements for Schengen – in brief

  • Total KL: minimum EUR 30,000 per person
  • Scope: treatment, repatriation, transport of remains
  • Territory: all Schengen countries
  • Period: full duration of stay indicated in the application
