What happens in case your existing insurance cannot be extended?
Your trip is so beautiful and you have decided to stay in Germany or Europe for a few more weeks or months and you would now like to extend your international health insurance. But often it is not possible to extend the limited travel health insurance from abroad, because for example the maximum insurance period is reached. However, you need a valid international health insurance to extend your visa. PROVISIT as connecting insurance is now the solution. The travel health insurance can be concluded up to 12 months after arrival for a maximum of 1 year.
Of course, we recommend to take out the policy before the start of the journey, so that you are insured from the beginning of your stay abroad. If the PROVISIT insurance is concluded more than one month after the start of the trip, the waiting period in the health insurance is one month. The waiting period can be waived if the insurance policy immediately follows a previous insurance. After application of PROVISIT insurance, please send us the proof of pre-insurance to contract@dr-walter.com. The waiting period does not apply in case of an accident or medical help aiming to prevent acute danger to the insured person’s life, such as cardiac arrest.
What is the purpose of the ETIAS visa?
ETIAS visa is a visa demanded for non-EU citizens who can enter the Schengen Zone and freely visit each of the states. It is used often for business and tourist purposes.
Can you travel in all of the EU countries with the Schengen Visa?
Keep in mind that having an Schengen Visa you are allowed to travel to Schengen countries only and not EU countries. Not breaking the law is very important if you plan to travel again soon.
How often do tourists travel around the Schengen borders inside a year?
About 60 million of crossings in the Schengen borders, out of more than 1 billion each year are made from transport of products. The other crossings are made by tourists. This shows how beneficial the Schengen Agreement is to companies.
Why is Europe considered to be such a good place for tourists?
One of the things EU countries are known for is the open borders that exist between states. These allow you to move freely inside Europe and experience all the different cultures and nightlife while at the same time being very cheap.
Will the Schengen Visa be enough for a summer program in Europe?
Most universities in Europe do summer research programs or spend months to develop practice-oriented classes while having a great time with students. Having a Schengen visa means you have the right to stay in a Schengen state for 90 days so you can enjoy the summer course and get to know other people.
Are your plans only to visit one country of the Schengen zone?
If so, you have to apply at the application center for that specific country. You cannot choose the application center you will apply to, because that depends on some factors.
What is the number of states that are part of the ETIAS list?
More states are expected to be added to the ETIAS list during these months. This is a new system and the steps to make it better are ongoing. Currently there are 60 states that will apply this method of travelling.
