Travel Insurance Requirements Keep Changing – Here Are the Latest Mandates

Woman with mask dealing with travel insurance requirementsAre you planning to travel internationally? Travel insurance isn’t just a sensible way to protect yourself. It’s now required by many countries. Don’t let your trip end before it begins – make sure you have the right coverage before you go.

These travel insurance requirements are changing rapidly. Some of the countries listed below did not require travel medical insurance a month ago. So even if your destination is not on the list now, it may require travel insurance by the date of your trip. Check both when you book your ticket and a day before departure to ensure that your insurance meets the latest mandates.

This list was up to date as of June 2, 2022 and includes the specific international medical insurance requirements from each country. All prices are in USD unless otherwise noted.
