Typical cancel for any reason policies don't cover 100% of the cost of the trip, perhaps 75%. Check the rules carefully. Also, you might not need a cancel for any reason policy to cover the case of a visa being denied or not being processed in time for the trip.

Some airline and hotel policies permit cancellations when visas are denied.
