Travel Insurance Requirements and Recommendations by Country

Many countries across the globe have made changes to their entry requirements as a result of the changing travel landscape. Even prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, many nations began requiring visitors to purchase travel insurance policies that cover medical treatment during their trip.

Squaremouth provides a country-by-country breakdown explaining which countries require travel insurance and what travel insurance benefits are required, as well as specific coverage recommendations for popular destinations. Our team researches country requirements on a regular basis and makes updates as new information becomes available. Due to ongoing changes, we always recommend travelers confirm their destination’s entry requirements prior to their trip.
