Repatriation cover may be requested depending on the visa route, consulate, checklist or application circumstances. Not every applicant will see this wording, but if your instructions mention repatriation, it should be checked before buying.
Repatriation cover relates to arrangements for returning a person to their home country in certain serious medical or other circumstances, as defined by the policy. Some consulates or checklists request it, and where they do, the policy or certificate should usually include suitable repatriation wording. It is a feature within a health insurance policy — not the same as travel insurance, which is a different product. See the main repatriation cover page and travel vs visa health insurance.
Repatriation wording may appear for some NLV, DNV or Student Visa applications depending on the consulate or route — check your specific instructions. Families should make sure each applicant who needs it has the wording. If repatriation is required and your certificate does not mention it, you may need updated wording or a policy that includes repatriation — send the certificate and we'll check it, alongside any no-copay requirement.
