Insurance on the San Francisco checklist

The consulate's Schengen tourist checklist says inadequate medical expenses coverage is the number one reason for visa rejections. It asks for a letter or certificate covering medical expenses, hospitalization costs, and repatriation for medical reasons, for the days outside the United States, of not less than 30,000 euro or 50,000 dollars. An insurance card alone is not enough. Submitting the documents does not guarantee a visa. The PDF path is dated October 2023.
