Planning your European getaway from Qatar? Before you book those flights to Paris, Rome, or Barcelona, there’s one essential document you’ll need: Schengen travel insurance. For Qatar residents applying for visas to Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, and other European nations in the Schengen area, securing proper travel insurance isn’t just recommended but mandatory.
Fortunately, QGIRCO is an authorized insurer listed by embassies in Qatar, ensuring your documentation meets all requirements.
Understanding Schengen Insurance Requirements
European consulates and embassies have strict requirements for travel insurance. Your policy must provide minimum coverage of €30,000, encompassing emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, medical evacuation, and repatriation in the event of death. The insurance certificate must explicitly state that it’s valid throughout the Schengen area, display the coverage amount, and list the travellers’ details exactly as they appear on their passports.
Countless visa applications get rejected simply because insurance documentation does not meet these precise specifications. Consular officials scrutinize policies for unclear wording, mismatched coverage dates, or unrecognized insurers.

QGIRCO offers streamlined purchasing options, and insured individuals can visit our office or contact the call centre via WhatsApp, where staff will issue the insurance directly.
