Insurance cover for foreign guests
When we receive visitors from abroad, we want to do everything we can to make them feel at home in Switzerland. This also includes taking steps to deal with unexpected events. If one of your foreign guests has an accident or falls ill, this can result in very substantial costs. With medical insurance for guests, your visitors are comprehensively insured against illness and accident.
Overview of scope and benefits
Medical insurance for guests is intended for:
- friends and relations who are officially resident outside Switzerland and are coming to visit you.
- visitors who are staying temporarily in Switzerland on a Schengen visa. Medical insurance for guests provides the cover required for temporary visitors to be eligible for a Schengen visa.
With medical insurance for guests you receive the following benefits in the event of illness or accident – up to the sum insured:
- the cost of medication, doctors' visits and inpatient hospital care in a general ward
- medically assisted emergency transport to place of residence abroad

The insurance is valid from the time of entry into the Schengen area for the period specified in the insurance policy, up to a maximum of 180 days per stay.
