Travel and Risk Insurance: how it works in Greece — first-hand

Short answer
Purchase travel insurance with at least €30,000 coverage before applying for your visa. Carefully review policy terms regarding visa refusal claims and ensure the provider offers international assistance services.

From real experience

Insurance for trip cancellation can be obtained from various providers, including Sber and T-Bank, often as an additional option during medical insurance purchase.
The cost is around 3500 rubles. Tour operators also offer this, but it's important to clarify their specific penalty clauses. One user insured risks, including visa refusal, with Reso for 3500 rubles. Policy conditions typically cover tickets, accommodation, and visa fees up to the insured amount, though no claims have been reported yet by the user.

Travel insurance covering visa refusal is a complex product.
Policies, such as those offered by T-Bank, may have convoluted terms and conditions that make payouts difficult. Applicants should carefully review policy details, including potential limitations on coverage and the claim process, which may require proof of a valid refusal based on specific criteria. It is generally recommended to purchase such insurance before submitting the visa application.

Travel insurance for a Greek visa application is generally accepted even if the insurance provider does not have a physical representation within the EU, provided it offers coverage of at least €30,000 and includes international service numbers for claims assistance.
Providers like 'Raiffeisen' with global coverage are typically considered valid.
