The 28 October 2020 amendment to the Act on Foreigners has introduced new requirements for travel insurance policies for the purpose of national (D) visas. These are now slightly different than requirements for Schengen (C) visas insurance policies and there is no list of approved insurance companies.

All travel insurance policies for national (D) visas must meet the following requirements:

1. Provide a 24/7 call centre,

2. Provide a minimum coverage of 30.000 EUR or equivalent,

3. Cover emergency medical assistance and/or emergency hospitalization,

4. Cover costs of transportation to the insured person’s place of residence in case of an illness or death.

After the amendment to the Act, a foreigner applying for a national visa for the purpose of work will be required to present a travel medical insurance of min the amount of 30 000 EUR for the entire period of validity of the visa.
