As you prepare for your upcoming trip to the Czech Republic- whether for business or pleasure- it is important to become familiar with the country’s entry requirements.  The Czech Republic is considered one of the Schengen countries.  What does this mean?  This is a group of countries that have signed the Schengen agreement. As part of this agreement, these countries do not require a visa if you are entering the country for up to 90 days within any 180 day period for business or pleasure. If you plan on studying or working in the Czech Republic, you will need to apply for a visa 3-4 months in advance. No matter what reason brings you to the Czech Republic, you are required to have Czech Republic Visa Insurance.

Czech Republic Visa Insurance is required for any foreigner entering the country and you will need to bring proof of insurance that meets the following:

- Valid coverage throughout Czech Republic

- Valid during the entire period that you will be in the Czech Republic

-  Coverage for at least $45,000 USD (or € 30,000)

-  Coverage including repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical care and/or emergency treatment in a hospital

According to the US State Department, a health insurance card will generally be accepted as proof of insurance to enter the country. With some Czech Republic visa insurance plans, you will receive a visa letter that is designed specifically to meet these requirements.

The Atlas Travel plan provides Czech Republic visa Insurance, covering travelers outside their home country. Not only will this plan meet the listed requirements, but after purchase, you will have access to your account where you can print out a tailored letter that will comply with the Czech Republic visa insurance requirements. With this plan, you can choose your dates of coverage, providing coverage anywhere from 5 days up until 1 year, and the plan can also be renewed for three years if you intend to stay longer.

Packing your bags is always an exciting beginning to your trip. Whether you are planning a rugged adventure action-packed with hiking, biking and camping or if you are planning to relax on a beach sampling the local cuisine, make sure that you leave fully prepared! While looking around for extra socks and fully updating your music selection, you may realize that some of the most important things won’t take up any space at all. International Trip Insurance is an important addition to any international trip. There is no telling what will happen in the future, and it is always important to leave home prepared.

The first step before leaving home is to check with your current plan to see if you are covered internationally. If so, you will want to find out whether your plan covers emergencies or if it will also cover you in case you get sick or injured. If not, you will want to look into appropriate international trip insurance. It is important to purchase your international trip insurance before leaving on your trip and also, make sure that it covers emergency medical evacuation, doctor office visits and hospitalization. You should also bring your policy information along for the ride for proof of insurance.

In addition to this basic coverage, there are also plans with additional benefits for your trip abroad. The International Travel Medical Insurance is an international trip insurance that will cover lost baggage, trip interruption, natural disaster benefit, and terrorism in addition to the medical coverage. The Trip Cancellation Insurance is also an international trip insurance that provides coverage for cancellation charges in addition to medical coverage. Whether you will be in Europe, Asia, the Americas, or Africa, international trip insurance is a must!
