IndusInd €30,000 Travel Insurance 2026 (Instant Approval Letter)

Why Your Indian Health Insurance Is Not Enough for Europe?

Many Indian travellers assume that their existing group health insurance or individual mediclaim policy from India will cover them during a Schengen trip. This is almost never the case. Here is why:

• Most Indian health insurance policies are valid only within India. Coverage stops at the border, regardless of the sum insured or the insurer.
• Even policies with "international coverage" clauses typically exclude routine travel or have very low caps for overseas treatment, far below the €30,000 Schengen requirement.
• The cost of healthcare in Europe is significantly higher than in India. A single emergency room visit in Germany or France can cost €500–€2,000. A hospital stay can reach €5,000–€15,000 per week.
• Evacuation costs are not covered by domestic insurance. If your condition requires medical evacuation back to India, costs can exceed ₹10–20 lakh. This is included in IndusInd's Schengen plan.

A dedicated travel insurance policy is the only way to be genuinely covered while traveling in Europe.

  Accommodation proof - hotel bookings, invitation letter, or Airbnb confirmation for all nights.
• ✓
  Financial proof - last 3–6 months of bank statements showing sufficient funds (typically €50–€100 per day of stay).
• ✓
  Photographs - passport-size photos meeting Schengen specifications.

  Employment or income proof - leave letter from employer, salary slips, or business registration documents.

Requirements may vary slightly by country and individual circumstances. Always verify with the specific embassy or VFS Global before submitting.

What Does "Instant Approval Letter" Mean When You Buy Schengen Travel Insurance?

When you complete your IndusInd Schengen travel insurance purchase through NRIOL, you receive two documents immediately by email:

1. The policy document - a PDF containing all coverage details, terms, and the policy number. This is your formal insurance contract.
2. The visa letter / insurance certificate - a one or two-page document specifically formatted for embassy submission. It states your name, passport number, coverage amount, validity dates, and the insurer's details in a format embassies recognize.

Both documents are generated automatically upon payment confirmation - there is no manual processing step, no wait for a courier, and no need to visit an office. The entire process from starting the quote form to receiving your policy documents typically takes 5–10 minutes.

What to do with the letter:

• Print one copy for your visa application folder.
• Save the PDF to your phone for in-country use if needed.
• Keep a second printed copy in a different bag from your primary travel documents.

Visiting Multiple Schengen Countries on One Trip: Does One Policy Cover All?

Yes. IndusInd's Schengen travel insurance is valid across all 29 Schengen member states under a single policy. You do not need separate policies for each country you visit.

A common itinerary for Indian travellers might include Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, three different countries across one 14-day trip. All three are covered under a single IndusInd Schengen policy purchased for the total trip duration.

Which embassy do you apply to? When visiting multiple Schengen countries, you apply for your visa at the embassy of the country where you will spend the most nights. If you spend equal time in multiple countries, apply at the embassy of the first Schengen country you enter.

Does your insurance need to list all countries? No. Schengen-compliant insurance covers the entire Schengen Area by definition. You do not need to list each individual country on the policy document; the coverage is automatic across all member states.

What Happens to Your Travel Insurance If Your Schengen Visa Is Rejected?

This is one of the most common questions from first-time Schengen visa applicants. If your visa application is rejected after you have already purchased travel insurance, the following typically applies under IndusInd's cancellation policy:

• If the policy has not yet started (the travel start date has not passed), you can request a cancellation and receive a partial or full refund of the premium, subject to the insurer's cancellation terms.
• A stamp duty deduction is typically made from any refund.
• To initiate a cancellation, contact the NRIOL team with proof of your visa rejection letter. Our advisors will guide you through the process - call (080) 41101026 or email us.

Cancellation and refund terms are governed by the insurer's policy wordings. We recommend reviewing the full policy document or contacting us for specific guidance.

Schengen Travel Insurance for Senior Citizens - Age Limits and Coverage

IndusInd offers Schengen-compliant travel insurance for travellers up to 80 years of age under its standard travel plans. For travellers aged 61 and above, the following applies:

• Coverage is available up to age 80 under the Schengen-specific plans (Basic and Standard).
• Plans for travellers aged 61–70 include four coverage tiers (Standard, Silver, Gold, Platinum) with medical cover ranging from €50,000 to €500,000 - all of which exceed the Schengen €30,000 minimum.
• For travellers aged 71–80, specific senior plans apply. See the senior citizen travel insurance page for full details.
• Medical sub-limits may apply depending on age and plan. It is important to review these before choosing the lowest-priced option, as the effective cover per illness may be lower than the headline coverage amount.

If your parent or a senior family member is applying for a Schengen visa, contact us to confirm that the chosen plan meets both the embassy's requirements and provides adequate protection for their age group.

Buying Schengen Travel Insurance for a Family: How It Works

If your family is traveling to Europe together, each member of the party needs their own travel insurance policy (or all members need to be included in a single combined policy). Here is how IndusInd handles family Schengen travel insurance:

• Up to 4 travellers can be included in a single quote through the quote form above.
• Each traveller's premium is calculated individually based on their age - there is no flat family rate.
• Children traveling with parents need their own coverage included in the policy - they are not automatically covered under a parent's policy.
• All travellers must have the same travel start date to be included in a combined policy request.

For families with senior members (aged 61+), the premiums for those travellers will be significantly higher than for younger family members. Use the quote form to see an itemized breakdown of the total family premium.

IndusInd Schengen Insurance - Basic vs Standard: Which Plan Should You Choose?

The price difference between the Basic (€30,000) and Standard (€50,000) plans is small - approximately ₹2–3 per day. The coverage difference, however, is meaningful for certain travellers. Here is a simple guide:

Our recommendation for most travellers: the Standard plan. At ₹2–3 more per day, the additional baggage cover, personal liability (€50,000), and higher medical cover (€50,000 vs €30,000) represent significant value for a minimal additional cost.

How to Extend or Renew Your IndusInd Travel Insurance While Abroad?
