Health insurance for the Curacao @HOME visa

Partially verified Last verified June 15, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

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

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.
