What is the best way to choose a policy validity period?

For a short-term trip, if there are no visa requirements, it is recommended to choose a period corresponding to your travel plans or tickets bought.

If you are applying for a visa, it is highly recommended to include the planned number of days being outside the country within the requested visa validity period. For example, 15 days in the course of year or 30 days in the course of 6 months. Visa officers pay due attention to the policy validity period and less attention to the number of days you are planning to stay in the country. Certain countries have a requirement that a policy validity period starts from the day of visa documents submittal or an extended validity period (up to 15 days) following the scheduled return date. Despite the general visa regulations, it is highly recommended to specify the documents issuance requirements of a specific embassy, incl. the list of accredited insurance companies.
