The cost of student visa insurance, including baggage and delay coverage, can vary significantly based on the policy's scope, duration of stay, and the chosen provider. For Kenyan students, budgeting approximately KES 10,000 to KES 30,000 for comprehensive travel and visa-related insurance is a reasonable estimate, though specific quotes are essential. It's crucial to compare policies carefully, looking beyond just the price to understand coverage limits, excess fees, and claim procedures. Always ensure the policy explicitly covers baggage loss/delay and travel disruptions, as mandated by many Eastern European student visa applications.
