THIS COVER IS VALUABLE FOR DESTINATIONS WITH STRINGENT VISA REQUIREMENTS

- SAIKAT NEOGI

WITH STRICTER VISA rules and a large number of Indians facing rejections for popular destinations lately,a visa rejection rider in travel insurance can be a financial safety net. It will cover losses suchas pre-booked flight tickets, hotels,and othernon-refund-able expenses.

In the first half of this financial year, Policybazaar, an online insurance aggregator, has seen the adoption of visa rejection riders in travel insurance plans growing 30% on-year.This coverage is especially valuable for destinations with stringent visa requirements,suchas the United States and Schengen countries.

Visa rejection cover is not included in the base plan of most insurers. It is offered as a rider. However, Tata AIG has included the cover under the Titanium Plus plan.
