Poland Travel Insurance News

When traveling to the Schengen area or any part of Europe, Canadians are urged to have proof of supplemental health insurance or relevant travel insurance. This is because various governments now require visitors to have adequate medical coverage while in their respective countries.

Your Canadian insurance is almost certainly not valid outside Canada, says the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). Thus, you need to obtain supplementary travel insurance that covers life, health, vehicle, driving, disability, and trip cancellation before traveling out of Canada.

The president of the Travel Insurance Association of Canada, David Hartman said in 2010 that many countries are now requiring visitors to show proof of medical insurance when entering the country. A lot of countries in Europe are requiring such proof. Countries like Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Belarus, etc, are requiring Canadians to show proof of medical coverage while visiting.
