FAQ
- Do I need insurance for Japan?
- Medical care for foreigners is paid, and a single consultation can cost more than the policy itself. For visa applications cover is mandatory.
- How much cover should I take?
- Visa centres usually require at least €30,000. For skiing, diving or riding a scooter take €50,000 and check that your activity is not excluded.
- When should I buy it?
- A policy starts on the date you choose, so you can buy it on the day of departure — unless you need it for a visa application.
