Remember the travel insurance mandates during the pandemic? They’re making a return.
An increasing number of countries are no longer just recommending travel insurance—they’re requiring it as a condition of entry.
“Travel insurance checks are quietly making a comeback,” says Sangeeta Sadarangani, CEO of Crossing Travel in London. “It’s not just for long-haul flights or exotic destinations anymore.
Travelers are being asked for proof of insurance on even regular routes, and sometimes even during a journey, like on a train.”
She points to a recent incident involving Eurostar, where UK passengers heading to France were unexpectedly asked about their insurance coverage at the border.
