International health insurance for Russia

Many travelers from different countries, including Germany, need to take care of obtaining a visa to enter Russia in advance, following the established procedures and requirements. Depending on the purpose of the visit, there are different categories of visas, such as tourist, business, work, private, study and humanitarian. One of the mandatory documents for these visas is an insurance policy. Applicants must submit the insurance policy along with other required documents when applying to a Russian consulate abroad. An insurance policy may also be requested when going through customs control.

There are a number of countries whose citizens can visit Russia without first obtaining a visa. Despite the fact that a visa is not required, obtaining health insurance is still strongly recommended in accordance with the legislation on the procedure for entering the country. In addition, having an insurance policy ensures your own safety, as all medical services for foreign citizens are chargeable.

Do you want to travel to Russia and don't know if you have valid international health insurance? No problem. Below we have compiled a list of all valid international health insurance policies for you. You can also read our sample of a valid insurance policy.

There are a few key requirements to keep in mind when applying for insurance. Firstly, the insurance document must be valid throughout Russia. The minimum insurance coverage is 30 thousand euros. The policy must be issued by an insurance company accredited by the Russian diplomatic mission and must not have a deductible. In addition, the term of the policy must cover the entire period of the foreign citizen's stay in the country. It is also important that the details of all insured persons fully correspond to their passport details.

For a small fee, we also offer you the option of having the policy issued by us. Please see our information about additional services for visas to Russia.

If you already have valid health insurance that meets all of the above criteria, please provide a certificate confirming the validity of the insurance cover when you apply for your visa. This confirmation must be current and not older than 3 months.
