Planning a stay in China, whether to study, do an internship or settle there, requires meticulous preparation, especially when it comes to obtaining your visa. With the ever-increasing number of visa applicants, China has facilitated the process by setting up official visa centers in several countries, including France, and modernizing procedures. An essential part of your application is to take out specific travel insurance for China, a prerequisite required by the Chinese authorities. Mondassur can help you with this process, providing you with a certificate of insurance immediately after you have taken out your policy, and offering sound advice on choosing the best insurance for your stay in China.
Why is health insurance compulsory for your Chinese Visa?
Travel insurance is essential for certain visas, such as the L (tourist) and Q (family) visas. Adequate insurance must cover :
- Medical and hospitalization expenses: covers medical expenses, hospitalization, medication and medical evacuation in the event of accident or illness of the insured or his/her companion.
- Repatriation assistance: in the event of serious illness, accident or death of the insured, the insurance must cover the cost of repatriation of the body or the person affected, subject to established ceilings.
Before finalizing preparations for your trip to China, make sure you take out health insurance from mondassur.welcomeprotection.com that meets the requirements of the Chinese authorities. Mondassur offers you insurance solutions tailored to your needs, with fast, efficient coverage, so you can leave with peace of mind.
What guarantees are required for travel in China?
When travel insurance is required to obtain a visa, as is the case for Saudi Arabia, China and Cuba, consular authorities are rigorous and demand specific guarantees, including:
- repatriation assistance, enabling foreign nationals to be repatriated at the expense of their insurance company if necessary.
– Coverage of medical expenses of at least €30,000, to cover any eventuality.
For trips to China, in particular, where repatriation assistance is a sine qua non, Mondassur sets itself apart by systematically including this assistance in all its health insurance contracts. So you can explore the world with confidence, knowing that medical expenses are always covered.
Choose Mondassur for medical cover that not only meets the requirements of consular authorities, but also offers you security and protection wherever you are.
How do I get a visa for China?
China visa applications should be made several weeks before departure to avoid any delays. You have two options: use the services of a specialized agency, for an additional fee, or apply directly via one of China’s official visa centers.
Since July 2019, the process has included the collection of fingerprints from most applicants. Exceptions include children under 14, people over 70, and those who have already submitted their fingerprints for a Chinese visa within the last five years, using the same passport and at the same embassy or consulate.
You will need to go in person to the visa application center to register your fingerprints, after making an appointment and filling in an online form. A set of specific documents will be required, depending on your situation and the type of visa you are applying for, including your passport, a hotel reservation, proof oftravel insurance for China, and other supporting documents.
Preparing your stay in China, especially for visa and travel insurance issues, requires care and anticipation. By taking out international medicalcover that complies with Chinese requirements, you can be sure of a worry-free, protected stay. Mondassur is at your disposal to support you in this process, with tailor-made offers and personalized advice.
