Schengen Visa Requirements
The Schengen Agreement is an agreement between European states
which allows for common immigration policies and a border system.
A total of 26 countries – including all European Union
states except the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom,
but including non-EU members Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland
– have signed the agreement and 15 have implemented it
so far. Border posts and checks have been removed between Schengen
countries and a common 'Schengen visa' allows access to the
area, however the agreement does not cover residency or work
permits for non-EU nationals.

Schengen Visa application must behold a travel
insurance of the applicant
According to a decision made by the Council of the European
Union, persons
who apply for an entry visa to the Schengen area must now prove
that they
have a valid medical travel insurance. The insurance must cover
costs for
emergency treatment, hospitalisation, urgent ambulance transportation
and
medical evacuation back to the home country.The Schengen countries
under
this new regulation are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland,
France,
Germany, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain
and
Sweden.
The IHI Travel insurance meets all these demands and is ideally
suited for
people of all nationalities visiting the Schengen area.
