Schengen Visa Insurance

Question:

Schengen visa for germany - Patriot International hi. i'd like to purchase an insurance policy in order to apply for a german visa. my tourist visa expires very soon, and i haven't had a chance to "shop around". i came across your site through google. the prices definitely sound right. :) i just wanted to know, can i purchase for just 1 month and submit the weblink generated confirmation when applying for a visa? i ask b/c i haven't had much time to see my health insurance options and i am tight on time. i may renew the PATRIOT INTERNATIONAL policy, but this also gives me time (1 mo.) to browse other options through both public and private insurance companies in germany. additionally, in the web-generated print out that i would take to my local visa registration, is the duration/length of coverage written on it? and if so, would that make a difference on obtaining or being turned down for a visa? i look forward to hearing from you. looking forward to PATRIOT INTERNATIONAL. :) best regards,

Answer:

Patriot International is only for US citizens and US citizens don't require Schengen Visa. For non-US citizens, you have to consider Patriot America. Patriot America can be renewed only if you buy for minimum 3 months initially. /patriot-america-lite-insurance/ If you would like to buy month by month, you have to buy Protection America, available at /patriot-america-lite-insurance/ Once you buy the insurance, you can download the visa letter at /myaccount/ Yes, the insurance duration is written on the visa letter. Please let me know if you have any other questions.


thanks for that fast response! i am a US Citizen hoping to obtain a residence permit in germany. one requirement for the application is that i have health insurance..... i was thinking PATRIOT INTERNATIONAL. if i purchased the coverage for 1 month (and the date of coverage noted on the printable confirmation letter), will this prevent me from obtaining a 1 year residence permit? again, i just ask b/c PATRIOT INTERNATIONAL may or may not be the coverage i'd like for my full year of residence in germany. your website makes it quite convenient however, to obtain coverage immediately. i would just like to make sure that the dates written on my application document stating the duration of coverage will not prevent issuance of my visa. :) thank you again.


Yes, you can purchase for one month. We don't know about what kind of impact it will have on year your trial to get 1 year visa. You need to ideally purchase the insurance for entire 1 year.

You can purchase Patriot International at /patriot-international-lite-insurance/ Once you purchase the insurance, you will get an email which will have the link to print the visa letter or the confirmation of coverage. You can also download the same at /myaccount/
