While a travel insurance from e.g. IF and European Travel Insurance in practice are worthless with the present recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there are better and often cheaper alternatives with far better coverage and service in Spain.
IF and European Travel Insurance have made their own travel insurances worthless abroad. On their website, they write: “Remember that travel insurance does not apply to the countries that the Foreign Ministry recommends against travelling to, even though these countries have lifted the ban on entry. So, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not advise traveling to all countries. ”
Norwegians are of course free to buy travel insurance from suppliers in other EU countries who follow different standards. European suppliers can offer insurance products with better coverage and many companies have better service in Spain where they also have their own representatives.
