Well-Protected Travelling Ensured by Schengen Visa Travel Insurance

Before you proceed to file the application for Schengen visa, you need to know the right category of Schengen visa you need to apply for. Basically, there are four categories of Schengen Visa. Category A visa is an airport transit visa that allows the traveler transfer or an overnight stay during the international travel. Category B visa is also a transit visa but with a validity of five days. Category C visa is a short stay visa approving the holder one or multiple trips of maximum of 90 days in a 180-day period. Category D visa is the national visa that allows for residing in a specific Schengen State for which it is issued. 

Here is what you need to do to get the Schengen visa. After deciding the category of the Schengen visa, you also must decide your main destination and you need to apply for visa at the embassy of that specific Schengen country. If you need to visit a number of destinations in the Schengen precinct, then determine the country that would be your first destination and apply for visa accordingly. You need to submit a valid travel document with a minimum validity of six months and two passport photographs with the filled out Schengen visa application form. Schengen visa travel insurance that provides medical coverage of a minimum level of €30,000 is another major document to be provided. It is to be taken care of that if you are applying for the Category A visa, then the submission of the comprehensive or the Schengen low cost travel insurance policy is not required. The applicable Schengen embassy may also ask for the evidence of adequate financial resources for your trip and other documents that you need to present.
