How to get it
You can buy online directly from the insurer’s site. Each provider emails a PDF certificate within 24 hours. Some Cairo offices print on the spot. It’s simple.
Who picks the insurance in a Veeza application?
You choose and purchase the travel insurance yourself. Veeza does not sell insurance. We ask you to upload your insurance certificate so we can verify it meets Schengen specs before submission.
