Full organisation and payment to return the insured person to their country of origin.

Included as required for short-stay visas, depending on duration.

This requirement is defined by the Schengen Visa Code (Regulation (EC) No 810/2009), which establishes mandatory medical and repatriation coverage for short-stay visas, as published by the European Commission.
What Repatriation Insurance Actually Means
If you’re not familiar with this type of cover, this guide explains in simple terms what Repatriation Insurance Means and why it’s required for visas and long-term stays.
In short, it protects your family from the very high cost and complexity of organising international repatriation, which can easily exceed €6,000–€12,000 without insurance.
Who Needs Repatriation Insurance for the Schengen Visa
Repatriation insurance is required for all non-EU citizens applying for:
- Tourist Visa (Short-Stay C)
- Family visit visa
- Business visa
- Short-term study visa
- Transit Visa
- Medical Treatment Visa
If your stay is up to 90 days, repatriation insurance is mandatory.
For short stays, repatriation coverage is usually included within Schengen-Compliant Travel Insurance policies when it is clearly stated in the certificate.
If your stay is longer than 90 days, you need full private health insurance, not travel insurance:
