Travel Insurance as an entry requirement
You wouldn’t be surprised to hear AllClear recommending travel insurance!
But did you know…
For many countries you are now required to show proof of cover before you can enter?
It is a trend that is set to continue, as countries seek new ways to relieve themselves of the financial burden of medical bills left unpaid by tourists – whether that is people taking advantage of free healthcare or simply making a swift exit.
Here is the complete list of countries where Travel Insurance is mandatory:
Here is the complete list of countries that you cannot enter without travel insurance:
- Schengen countries
- Cuba
- Ecuador
- Iran
- Turkey
- Morocco
- Thailand
- The UAE
- Togo
- Algeria
- Romania
- Croatia
- Moldova
- Georgia
- Aruba
- Cambodia
- Lebanon
- Seychelles
- Antarctica
While not all countries will insist you buy travel insurance before entry, many will still insist you get cover on arrival. As this is likely to result in a high premium, it makes sense for you to get cover in place well in advance of you trip. That’s without even mentioning the benefits of having cancellation cover!
Is forcing you to buy travel insurance an infringement on civil liberties?

Travel insurers pay out more than £1,000,000 every single day
