How to buy Green Card insurance online - my instructions
The problem with buying a Green Card is that you need the original policy. It will not work, as with ordinary travel insurance - you just received the insurance in electronic form by email and that's it. Therefore, a green card is usually bought at the office of an insurance company, where you have to go through traffic jams and then still stand in line. More about the green card, I wrote in a separate post.
To simplify your life, you can buy a Green Card online with subsequent delivery to your home or office. It is much more convenient. Below is my instruction.

Filling in the data
First, we fill in the basic data. Then the cost will be displayed. It is set by PCA and depends only on the number of days and nothing else. The price of the policy is the same everywhere, in the office of any insurance company, on the Internet. This is clearly being followed.

I will show everything by my own example. I needed insurance for Europe for 15 days. I have known Polis812 for a long time, even by travel insurance, I bought it from them more than once.
Buying a Green Card online
You can fill in some of the fields yourself, or you can upload scanned documents
Delivery can only be ordered in Moscow or St. Petersburg. So far, only these cities. But this is where time saving is most relevant..
If it suddenly becomes convenient to pick up insurance at the office, then there is such an option too. There is 1 office in Moscow on Sadovnicheskaya Street, in St. Petersburg there are 3 offices.
I chose free home delivery, but you can also pick it up at the office
Payment
With payment, everything is standard - a bank card. Everything is simple here.
After payment you will receive a letter to the specified email with the order number. And after a while the manager will call, confirm the order and agree on delivery. I got a call in 20 minutes.
Payment by credit card
Obtaining original insurance
At the appointed time, a courier arrived and brought a pack of documents. It contains the same original green card that you need to carry with you in the car during the entire trip..
