Do I need travel/health insurance to be granted an ETA?

For many countries that offer Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETAs) or similar visa-waiver programs, having travel or health insurance is not a specific requirement for obtaining the authorization itself. The ETAs are often linked to short-term visits for tourism, business, or transit purposes.

However, while not always mandatory for the ETA application, travel insurance is highly recommended when traveling internationally. Some countries strongly advise or even require travelers to have adequate travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or other unforeseen events during their stay.

Travel insurance is not a visa requirement; however, it can be incredibly beneficial. It provides financial protection and assistance in case of unexpected incidents like medical emergencies, trip interruptions, lost baggage, or flight cancellations, ensuring you're covered and supported while abroad.

Travel insurance coverage not only provides peace of mind but also safeguards you against potential financial liabilities resulting from unexpected events while traveling. It's a smart precaution that can significantly ease the potential challenges of international travel.
