Why it is needed to buy insurance for travelling to Russia?
To make a traveller from abroad staying on the territory of our country safe, it is necessary to insure his life and health. An insurance policy is the document that will ensure these conditions.
To travel around Russia, foreigners should apply for a visa. Without an insurance policy, the Russian consulate or embassy will not issue a permit to enter the country (except for some countries). When contacting the Russian diplomatic missions abroad, the foreign tourist should submit a printed version of the insurance policy along with other documents to the authorized representatives. Such a format of confirmation of the policy purchase does not require additional notarial or other legal certification.
Please note that there is no difference in the purpose and status of the visit to Russia planned by a resident of another country. It is compulsory for a labour migrant, a businessman, a traveller or a sportsman to have an insurance policy.
Requirements for travel insurance
One of the most important advantages provided by the insurance for a tourist in Russia is the possibility to receive free medical care, including emergency one. Please note that the extent of the medical service provided depends on the characteristics of the policy and the amount for which the foreigner is insured while staying in Russia.
There are several obligatory requirements for the insurance policy, which is required upon opening a visa for travelling to Russia. Their presence will ensure full-fledged protection of foreign guests arriving in our country in case of occurrence of insured events.

What covers a foreign traveller's insurance policy?
Apart from the basic requirements for the policy, the document should also include the main options a tourist may require while travelling in Russia.

However, this package of services will be optimal for people who prefer a leisurely holiday. If a traveller planning to visit the country is a person keen on extreme sports or outdoor activities, then it is advisable to buy a policy with expanded options.
It is possible to increase the sum insured up to 100 thousand if a tourist decides to get to hard-to-reach places like Altai, the Caucasus, the Kola Peninsula, Kamchatka, etc. Then, in case of sudden injury or mutilation, the policy will cover expenses on: rescue services, air ambulance services, medical treatment, purchase of medicines, arrival of relatives to the country.
That is why for extreme tourists, sportsmen, it will be great to include in the document, for example, the option 'trekking' - which covers hiking in the mountains, cross-country skiing, mountaineering, climbing to any altitude. The option will not only cover all costs in case of an accident anywhere in the country during an outdoor activity.
