Visitor Insurance

A friend of mine was traveling to Italy on holiday. One of the requirements to get a Schengen Visa is a visitor insurance policy. My friend went ahead and purchased a visitor insurance policy online without checking if it was in compliance with Schengen visa requirements. It was not. He was totally stressing out because he had his visa interview on a Monday and it was already the weekend. Lucky for him he found this cool website www.americanvisitorinsurance.com. They actually have a tab called ‘Europe Travel Insurance’ with a list of plans that fit the requirements of a Schengen visa. He was able to purchase visitor insurance for his trip online. He received immediate confirmation of his purchase and he was able to go online and download a ‘visa letter’ that explained all the plan details to the visa office.
