Wiener insurance vs. visa - does it meet the requirements?

Looking for a policy that will pass consulate verification? Many foreigners ask whether Wiener insurance meets the requirements for a visa. In this guide, we explain how to match the insurance to the visa criteria, what to watch out for, and what provisions in the document must appear. We use clear examples and practical tips so your visa doesn't get stuck by not having the right insurance.

We focus on the keys: requirements, Schengen visa and Polish national visa, insurance amounts, territory and repatriation. We also suggest where to safely buy insurance online and what documents to prepare for the application.

For the Schengen visa (type C), the standard is: a minimum sum of €30,000 for medical expenses, coverage for sudden illnesses and accidents, mandatory costs for medical transport and repatriation of remains, validity throughout the Schengen area and for the entire declared period of stay. The policy should be issued by name and be available in paper or PDF version for presentation. At Wiener you will only purchase a policy for the area covering Poland.

With a national visa, Poland usually accepts a policy with Schengen-like rules for the duration of entry and first stay. Continuous health insurance in Poland (NFZ or private) is required for a residence card. If you are starting with a travel policy, make sure you have a smooth transition to health insurance upon arrival. Also check the office's current guidelines, as practices may vary regionally.

Before you buy, check documents for purchase, so as not to run out of data to issue a correct policy.

Yes - under Wiener's travel insurance („On the Road”), you can choose a sum of medical expenses at the level required for a Schengen visa (at least €30,000). The policy covers sudden illnesses and accidents abroad (excluding your country of permanent residence) and 24/7 assistance services, including the organization of medical treatment, hospitalization and medical transportation. Options also include an interpreter, information assistance and search and rescue costs.

When purchasing, choose: territorial area Poland, period according to your visa application, KL sum min. EUR 30,000, mandatory assistance repatriation and no exclusion of your activity (e.g. high-risk sports). For chronic diseases, consider extending your coverage. Ask for a certificate in English and Polish - this will make it easier to check your documents.
