Schengen Travel Insurance for Romania
Apply for your Romania Schengen visa with confidence. Our plans meet the mandatory €30,000 medical requirement and are accepted by the Romania consulate. Instant certificate delivered by email.
Romania Embassy Tip
Romania joined the Schengen Area fully (including land borders) in January 2025. Romanian consulates follow standard Schengen insurance requirements. Travelers who visited Romania prior to 2025 without Schengen insurance should note this has changed.
What Does Romania Require for a Schengen Visa?
To obtain a Schengen visa for Romania (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
Recognized international insurer
One important note: As a 2025 Schengen entrant, Romanian consulates strictly enforce the €30,000 insurance requirement. Standard policies from recognized international carriers are accepted.
Healthcare Costs in Romania
Romanian private healthcare is among the most affordable in the EU. Emergency care in Bucharest runs €200–€2,000; more complex cases requiring transfer to Bucharest University Hospital can exceed €10,000.
What happens without insurance?
As a Schengen visa holder in Romania, 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 Romania
Bucharest, Transylvania (Bran Castle, Brasov), the Carpathian Mountains, painted monasteries of Bucovina, and the Danube Delta. Whatever brings you to Romania, the right insurance keeps your trip protected from unexpected medical costs so you can enjoy every moment.

The policy must include emergency medical evacuation and repatriation of remains. It must be issued by an internationally recognized insurer.
How much does Schengen insurance cost for Romania?

Can I buy Schengen insurance after I apply for my Romania visa?
You must purchase Schengen insurance before or at the time of your visa application — the embassy requires proof of insurance as part of the application documents. You cannot submit insurance after the application has been filed. However, some travelers purchase insurance before they have a confirmed travel date and list approximate dates, then adjust with the carrier if dates change.
Is my insurance certificate from Tower Hill accepted by the Romania embassy?

What if my Romania Schengen visa is denied? Can I get a refund on my insurance?
Yes, in most cases. If your visa is denied before your travel begins, you may request a refund by providing a copy of your visa denial letter. Contact Tower Hill at support@towerhillcorp.com or (832) 856-1704 and we will coordinate the refund request with the carrier on your behalf.
