Schengen Visa Insurance

Question:

Greetings! I am a US citizen whose home country is the US. I am retired at 67. My partner lives in Austria and she has a job and residence permit. I will soon have to apply for residence so I can stay with her for more than the 90day minimum. My medical needs are very minor and inexpensive so I expect to pay for them out of my Social Security checks. Here is my question Because I am only going to acquire medical insurance in Austria so authorities can "tick that box" on my application for a visa, that insurance must be the absolute minimal, cheapest possible medical insurance the country will nevertheless accept. Can you recommend which insurance policy I should be looking into through Insubuy, and what it would cost

Answer:

If you are in need of a policy that will meet Schengen visa requirements you can run a quote in the Schengen Visa section of the website. All the plans in this section will meet the minimum insurance requirements for a Schengen visa. 

Two popular options are the Beacon America or Patriot International Lite plans.
