## What this page is
This is EKTA's travel insurance page for the Schengen area. EKTA says its policy is suitable for obtaining a Schengen visa and a visa for any other country, and that it can be bought online with the policy arriving by email within about a minute. The page is one of many EKTA country and topic pages that share the same plans.
## The three tariffs
The page lists three tariffs by coverage amount. START covers 50,000 USD and shows 0.99 USD per day alongside 1.37 USD per day. GOLD covers 150,000 USD and shows 1.75 and 2.40 USD per day. MAX+ covers 500,000 USD and shows 5.90 and 8.08 USD per day. The page does not explain the two figures in each tariff, and shows a separate 37% discount banner, so check the final price at checkout.
## What EKTA says it covers
The policy is described as valid in any country in the world, for travellers of any age from 0 to 100 and of any nationality, and as covering COVID-19. The page gives examples of events it covers: a fracture or sprain, food poisoning, calling a doctor or ambulance, lost luggage, flight cancellation, a 14-day forced observation and loss of documents. A comparison table lists medical care, medical transport, baggage, flight delay and legal assistance among other items.
## Activities
The policy comes in three levels: Quiet rest for walking, swimming and fitness, Active rest that adds mopeds, water parks and skiing on marked slopes, and Extreme rest that adds freeride, rafting and base jumping. If your trip includes any of these, choose the level that names it.
## What to check for a visa
A visa office may set a minimum amount of cover and require that the policy be valid across the whole area for the exact dates of your stay. EKTA says its policy suits a Schengen visa, but the requirement is set by the consulate, so confirm the minimum cover and the wording it expects before you buy.
## When it fits
It suits a first-time visa applicant who wants a low per-day price and a policy by email. If you need a specific certificate wording, ask EKTA before buying.
