Is travel health insurance mandatory when going abroad?

No, it is not mandatory. However, we recommend taking out travel health insurance that also covers accidents, in case of any illness or accident. In particular, since travel health insurance may be requested during passport control at Schengen entries, having it will help you avoid problems at passport control.
