Cherehapa Travel Medical Insurance website not repsonding

Travel to Russia

Hello Irena,

This is my first post to your Russiable Community. Firstly thank you for your wonderful website. I have found your up to date advice extremely helpful. It’s so much harder now to travel to Russia than my previous trips there.

have just followed your guide to purchase travel medical insurance to Russia. I went to the Cherehapa website. I have completed payment and have received the insurance PDF document exactly as you describe in your guide. When I follow the link in the PDF document to validate my policy (sovcomins.ru/check) the website times out and cannot be reached.

I am in the UK. I have tried it on a Windows PC using Chrome browser both with and without trying a VPN. I have also tried to validate my policy on my android phone.

Please can you advise me as soon as possible how to validate my insurance policy as I need to complete my Visa request. I hope this insurance website is still valid and that I haven’t wasted my money.

Many thanks,

Graham.

@Graham333 Hello Graham,

To validate the policy you need a VPN. I have tried a policy that I made a couple of weeks ago with Cherehapa and it can be validated on the sovcomins.ru website with the web link and with the PIN. If you cannot open the website then it is a problem with your VPN. I’m using a free extension Chrome VPN (VPN-free.pro)

Hi Irena,

Thank you so much for replying quickly to my question. Your instructions worked perfectly. You’re amazing with your wealth of knowledge and advice! What would we do without you. Time now to begin my visa application so I may have one or two more questions to ask.

Best wishes,

Graham.
