Extension of Schengen Health Insurances

Please apply for an extension of your Schengen health insurance before expiration of the existing policy, if your stay in Europe will last longer than planned before.

There is no general entitlement to get an extension of your policy. All extensions must be requested and approved by the insurer, who can reject your request - e.g. in case of too many claims already submitted. In case an extension of your Schengen health insurance has been accepted by the insurer you are starting a new insurance contract, meaning that claims already occured (pre-existing conditions) are excluded from the new policy.

We therefore recommend to cover the maximum period of time you might stay in Europe right from the start. Thus meaning you will avoid both extensions becoming necessary and disadvantages mentioned before. There is no financial risk for you as overpaid premiums will be refunded to you, if you left Europe earlier that planned.

If you need an extension of your or your guest´s Schengen health insurance, we kindly ask you to contact us and to submit that information to us before expiration of the existing policy:

• insurance policy number of your existing Schengen health insurance
• additional period of time you would like to cover
• your bank account details

We will ask for an approval of your policy, issue that policy for you and inform you about the deferred premium.

Please submit your request for an extension of insurance coverage via the contact form on this website.
