What Does Belgium Require for a Schengen Visa?
To obtain a Schengen visa for Belgium (or any Schengen country), EU law mandates travel insurance that covers:
Minimum Medical Coverage
€30,000
Emergency Evacuation
Required — included in all our plans
Repatriation of Remains
Required — included in all our plans
Geographic Validity
All 29 Schengen countries
Coverage Period
Entire duration of stay
Issuer Type

Healthcare Costs in Belgium
Belgian private healthcare for non-EU visitors runs €150–€500 per consultation; emergency hospitalization €10,000–€30,000 depending on condition severity.
What happens without insurance?
As a Schengen visa holder in Belgium, you are not entitled to public healthcare. Every medical interaction — from a GP visit to emergency surgery — is billed to you directly at private rates. One serious incident can result in bills that dwarf the cost of your entire trip. Travel insurance transfers that risk for as little as $8/week.
Why People Visit Belgium
