This post is not specifically targeting all Filipino applicants who are applying for Schengen visa, this is for all nationalities. I felt the need to disclose that I’m a Filipino to make sure those who are in my shoes can relate in my situation.

Some embassies in the Philippines have a list of recommended/credited travel insurance company/ies. Other embassies in the other countries might have a different rule, which I cannot highlight all or else the post will be too long and confusing.

Although you are right that I should have placed a disclaimer that the information can be incorrect for some or that even if I didn’t face any issue, they might. For that, I truly thank you for bringing it to my attention, I will surely add it as soon as possible.

The truth is, I never expected this post to be getting a lot of attention

I really hope that you will be able to fix the issue and my apologies for the trouble and again, if you need any help, I’m always just a message away.

Hi Katie,

I understand your frustration, I’d be too if I’m in your shoes, but you also have to understand that not all applications are the same. As I said, I’ve used the company many many times for my Schengen visas and they were all approved while my readers have done the same and had no problem. One of my readers even use this with the German Embassy and had visa approval.

Again, if you want me to contact IMGLobal on your behalf, I have a direct contact, my line is always open for you.

Mary, please do not insinuate that the problem is in our application. This is the third time that our family applied for a Schengen visa and this is the first time we got rejected. Our rejection letter came with the reason: “proof of holding an adequate and valid travel medical insurance was not provided”. I headed on to the German Embassy to file our family’s Letter of Remonstrance together with a VALID travel medical insurance and I was told the decision will take weeks. WEEKS!

Katie, one of my readers applied with the German Embassy and had approval with her visa (just a month ago). Not sure what was the problem with your application and I’m really sorry that happened to you. But I had a great experience with IMGlobal for almost two years now with countless visa applications and two refunds. If you want, you can send me an email together with your denied visa letter and travel insurance certificate that you received with IMGlobal and I’ll contact them myself on your behalf. I’m over at mary@amaryroad.com
