Most digital-nomad visas make health insurance a condition of approval — and the Curacao @HOME is no different. Here's exactly what's required, the plans that plausibly meet it, and what to check before you buy.
The requirement
- Insurance
- Required (explicit)
- Minimum coverage
- Not specified
- Required for
- Full visa period
Official FAQ: 'A valid international travel insurance is required (including COVID-19 coverage)' and 'A valid medical insurance is a prerequisite for approval of your application.' No minimum coverage amount (sum insured) is published. @HOME remote-worker permit holders are non-residents and cannot enrol in the public BVZ scheme, so international/travel medical cover valid for the full stay is effectively mandatory.
Plans that meet the requirement

Insurance for the @HOME: FAQ
Insurance for the @HOME: FAQ
Is health insurance mandatory for the Curacao @HOME?
Required (explicit). Official FAQ: 'A valid international travel insurance is required (including COVID-19 coverage)' and 'A valid medical insurance is a prerequisite for approval of your application.' No minimum coverage amount (sum insured) is published. @HOME remote-worker permit holders are non-residents and cannot enrol in the public BVZ scheme, so international/travel medical cover valid for the full stay is effectively mandatory.
Can I use regular travel insurance?
Long-stay travel medical insurance is among the accepted types for this program, as long as it meets the coverage minimums for the full required period.
