Whether travel insurance is required for a visa depends on the country you’re applying to. Some European countries do require proof of travel insurance as part of the visa application process. However, for a US visitor visa, there is no specific requirement for travel insurance. That said, a visa officer may ask about your insurance coverage, depending on your individual case.

While travel insurance may not always be mandatory, it’s always a good idea to have coverage when traveling abroad. Travel medical insurance can protect you in the event of accidents, illnesses, or emergencies, and it’s often more affordable than you might think.
