If you’re applying for a Schengen visa, having travel insurance for Italy isn’t optional — it’s required. Your plan needs to cover at least €30,000 in medical costs, and it must work across all Schengen countries. Whether it’s called travel health insurance Italy or travel insurance Italia, just make sure it includes things like emergency care and repatriation. Double-check the details, since not all cheap plans meet the visa rules. Better to get it right the first time.
