Why Travel Insurance is a Visa Essential (Think of it as Your Passport to “Chillax”)
So, you’re dreaming of sipping espresso in Rome or exploring the souks of Marrakech? Fantastic! But hold your horses, because many countries, especially those fancy Schengen spots and the dazzling UAE, want to see your travel insurance before they stamp that visa. It’s not just some bureaucratic hoopla, though. It’s like your personal “oops-a-daisy” button, making sure you’re covered if anything goes sideways. Plus, it keeps the host country’s healthcare system from going “ka-ching!” with unexpected tourist bills.
