By Destination
Entry rules country by country, scoped to the passport you actually hold, plus the medical cover level worth carrying in each region.
Ticketing-Info publishes insurance guidance for all 199 destinations, separating the 6 countries that require cover from every foreign visitor, the 36 whose rule binds only visa applicants or specific trip types, and the rest where no rule applies. Requirements are stated against the traveller's own passport rather than as a blanket yes or no.
Key Travel Facts & Insights
These countries require every foreign visitor — including US passport holders on a standard leisure trip — to hold travel medical insurance. Proof can be checked at the border.
These countries have an insurance rule, but it attaches to a visa application or a particular trip type rather than to entry itself. US passport holders travelling visa-free are generally not asked for proof — the individual pages spell out exactly who each rule binds.

No proof of cover is required to enter these countries. That does not make insurance optional in practice: US health plans and Medicare generally pay nothing abroad, and a medical evacuation home routinely runs past $100,000.

Entry requirements change without notice. Confirm against the destination’s embassy or consulate before you travel; the guidance here is maintained by our team but is not a substitute for the official source. Only a subset of country pages is submitted for search indexing — the rest remain available here and are linked from the guides.
