Minimum amount of days travel insurance policy should cover for Schengen visa?
score:5
Accepted answer
This is taken up in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) # 810/2009 (otherwise known as the 'Schengen Visa Code'), which says...
- The insurance shall be valid throughout the territory of the Member States and cover the entire period of the person’s intended stay or transit. The minimum coverage shall be EUR 30 000.
and for the case of multiple entry Schengen visas...
- Applicants for a uniform visa for more than two entries (multiple entries) shall prove that they are in possession of adequate and valid travel medical insurance covering the period of their first intended visit.
So any day (or partial day) that the applicant is in the zone, these paragraphs would apply. To calculate the minimum coverage, add up the days between arrival and departure inclusive and you will meet the requirements of Article 15.

I was told in Finland visa center that insurance should cover all days of the first trip. Maybe other Schengen countries have other rules
