Health insurance for the Slovenia Digital Nomad Permit 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 Slovenia Digital Nomad Permit 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
€30,000
Required for
Full visa period

The official GOV.SI / ZTuj-2I framework requires applicants to hold health insurance valid in Slovenia covering at least emergency medical services for the entire duration of the intended stay (hence required = yes_explicit). The official sources do NOT publish a minimum coverage figure; the EUR 30,000 minimum is cited consistently by secondary relocation/visa guides (tier-2/3) and is in line with general Slovenian/Schengen visa practice, so it is corroborated but not officially gazetted. Accompanying family members need equivalent coverage. The permit does not grant access to Slovenia's public health insurance (ZZZS) unless the holder separately registers and pays compulsory contributions.

Needs verification

Foyer Global Health offers unlimited worldwide inpatient cover well above EUR 30,000 and suits a multi-month Slovenia residence, but it is a full international health plan (schengen_compliant_30k not flagged) requiring a 12-month contract, so its acceptance as Slovenia's required travel/health insurance should be confirmed.

Needs verification

World Nomads (nib Travel Services; EU product manufactured by Collinson Insurance Europe Ltd) · Long-stay travel insurance

World Nomads EU (Standard EUR 5M / Explorer EUR 10M) clears EUR 30,000 but is sold only to EU/EEA residents and explicitly suspends cover in the country of residence, so for someone actually moving to and residing in Slovenia its validity for the entire stay needs verification.

  • Can be bought or extended while already abroad (waiting period applies, e.g. 72 hours on EU policies bought mid-trip); max policy duration 12 months for EU residents
  • EU-resident plans carry high emergency medical limits: 5M EUR (Standard) / 10M EUR (Explorer), incl. evacuation and repatriation
  • Covers 150+ adventure sports and activities; Explorer adds more activities and higher sub-limits
