Who can take out insurance?

Health insurance for travelling abroad is available to people aged 18 to 65. If you need to insure a child under the age of 18, only one of the parents or a legal guardian who is at least 18 years old can do so. This rule applies to all types of insurance, including standard and extended coverage.

If the traveller plans to travel abroad frequently throughout the year, it is worth considering an annual medical package. It is available for people aged 18 to 60 and allows you to have insurance coverage throughout the year without having to take out a new policy before each trip.

Territories covered by the insurance policy

Medical insurance for travelling abroad is valid in certain territories depending on the type of policy you choose. You can choose insurance that covers only European countries, or an extended version with worldwide coverage. This allows you to flexibly choose a policy according to your travel route and plans for your stay abroad.

However, there are territorial restrictions. The insurance policy does not cover countries where military operations or armed conflicts are taking place, as well as countries under sanctions imposed by Ukraine, the UN, the EU, the US or the UK. This means that the insurance will not be valid, for example, in russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria and other countries subject to restrictions.

Before applying for a policy, it is recommended that you carefully check whether the countries you need are included in the coverage area.
