Short answer
Spain DNV requires unlimited coverage. Any policy that lists a maximum coverage amount conflicts with the checklist requirement for comprehensive, full, unlimited insurance coverage (Source: BLS_ES_DNV_LONDON_2026, page 2, item 9; verified 2026-01-12). This trap explains why caps lead to RED results and how to avoid them.

How we evaluate
The checker compares the unlimited coverage requirement against product evidence. If a product lists a coverage cap, the result is RED for Spain DNV. If the evidence is missing, the result is UNKNOWN. See /methodology/ for rule logic and the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle.
Unlimited means no cap is stated in the policy wording. If a certificate lists any maximum amount, the checker treats it as a cap and marks the requirement as failed for Spain DNV. This applies even when the limit is high.
If you only have a summary page, request the full policy wording that explicitly says “unlimited” rather than a numeric maximum. Without that wording, the checker will not treat the requirement as satisfied.

FAQ
Q: Why do coverage caps fail Spain DNV checks?
A: Spain DNV requires unlimited coverage, so any stated cap conflicts with the checklist (Source: BLS_ES_DNV_LONDON_2026, page 2, item 9; verified 2026-01-12).
Q: Which products are most at risk? A: Products with explicit caps in their evidence, such as SafetyWing ($250,000), World Nomads Explorer ($150,000), and Genki Traveler (€1,000,000).
Q: Is a high limit like €1,000,000 enough? A: No. The requirement is unlimited coverage, not a high cap.
Q: Can this change if my insurer issues a new certificate? A: Yes. If the policy explicitly states unlimited coverage, the checker can change in a new snapshot.
