Refund if Your Visa Is Refused

Short answer

If your visa application is refused, most insurers refund the travel health insurance premium. A refund normally requires the official refusal document from the consulate and that the policy has not yet started.

Conditions for a refund

  • Official visa refusal document from the consulate
  • The policy has not started — no refund once travel has begun
  • The request is made within the insurer's stated window

How the process works

Send us the refusal document and we file the refund request with the insurer and follow it up. Depending on the company it settles within a few business days to a few weeks.

The refund is usually the full premium, though some insurers deduct an issuing fee. We tell you which insurer applies what before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get my money back if my visa is refused?

In most cases yes. Insurers refund the premium on presentation of the official refusal document, provided the policy has not yet started.

Can I change the dates instead of cancelling?

Usually yes. If you plan to reapply, moving the dates is often more practical than a refund. We will compare both for your case.
