Krankenversicherung für das Japan DN Visum

Verified data Zuletzt geprüft June 10, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

Die meisten Visa für digitale Nomaden machen eine Krankenversicherung zur Bedingung für die Genehmigung — und beim Japan DN ist das nicht anders. Hier steht genau, was verlangt wird, welche Tarife die Anforderung plausibel erfüllen und was Sie vor dem Abschluss prüfen sollten.

Gesamte Visumsdauer

Private medical (travel) insurance is an explicit statutory requirement, set out on the ISA program page and outline PDF, in ISA Q&A A10, on the MOFA visa page and in the Consulate-General of Japan in Chicago requirements PDF. The policy must cover death, injury and illness incurred during the stay in Japan. Cover for medical treatment of injury or illness must be at least JPY 10,000,000 (about EUR 53,999 at the ECB rate of 185.19 JPY/EUR, 2026-06-10); death cover must include repatriation of remains or a death benefit, with no minimum amount stipulated. The insurance period must correspond to the entire planned stay in Japan. Credit-card-attached insurance is accepted if documentation proves the required coverage. An accompanying spouse or child may rely on family coverage under the nomad's policy, with proof of the coverage scope; every applicant, including each family member, must evidence cover. Public health insurance is not an accepted option: per ISA Q&A A10, digital nomads are not mid/long-term residents, receive no residence card and cannot enroll in Japan's public medical insurance. Proof documents are the insurance enrollment certificate plus the policy terms and conditions, together with ISA's 'Explanation of Coverage under Private Medical Insurance' form.

Sortiert nach Passung zur Anforderung, dann nach Preis. Der Qualifikationsstatus wird je Tarif angezeigt — prüfen Sie immer doppelt, dass die Police mit dem Wortlaut des Konsulats übereinstimmt, bevor Sie den Antrag stellen.

True Traveller, underwritten by Inter Partner Assistance S.A. (AXA Group) · Long-stay travel insurance

EUR 10,000,000 medical AND repatriation cover on all tiers with single-trip duration up to 548 days clearly exceeds the JPY 10M (~EUR 53,999) medical minimum and covers the death/repatriation element for the full 6-month stay, though the product is only sold to UK/EEA/European residents or citizens.

  • Medical and repatriation cover of EUR 10m (UK edition GBP 10m) per person on every tier, underwritten by Inter Partner Assistance S.A., AXA Group
  • Long-stay single-trip cover up to 548 days (731 days Worldwide incl. USA/Canada) and can be bought or extended after leaving home (48-hour waiting period applies)
  • 92 sports and activities covered as standard, with optional Adventure, Extreme and Ultimate activity packs
#2

MyHealth International

Likely qualifying

APRIL International Care France (health risk insured by Groupama Gan Vie; assistance/personal liability by CHUBB European Group SE) · International health insurance

International health type is explicitly accepted, every tier carries at least EUR/USD 500,000 (Japan-specific caps of EUR 2M/4M on top tiers) and hospitalisation plus medical evacuation/repatriation are covered at 100% on all tiers, satisfying both the EUR 53,999 medical minimum and the death/repatriation element on annual policies covering the 6-month stay.

  • Four plan tiers with annual limits from EUR/USD 500,000 (Explore) up to unlimited (Extensive/Elite; capped at EUR/USD 2M-4M for treatment in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, USA)
  • Enrollment from age 10 up to 74 in most countries; one-year contract with automatic renewal
  • Hospitalisation, medical evacuation and cancer treatment at 100% on all tiers, with hospital direct billing and free unlimited 24/7 telehealth (Teladoc)

Genki UG (policyholder/agent); underwritten by Squarelife Insurance AG, Liechtenstein · Long-stay travel insurance

EUR 1,000,000 overall travel-medical limit per one-year insurance period far exceeds the EUR 53,999 minimum and the accepted travel type for a 6-month stay, but the researched facts do not confirm a death benefit or repatriation-of-remains benefit, which the ISA explicitly requires.

  • Up to EUR 1,000,000 medical coverage valid in every country for up to 12 months, with monthly billing and cancellation possible after the first month
  • Sign-up is possible while already abroad and up to age 69; insurance certificate for visa applications and border checks is issued immediately after the first payment
  • 24/7 emergency assistance (MCI Assist) with direct payment for inpatient hospital stays and no deductible on inpatient treatment

SafetyWing (underwritten by SafetyWing Insurance I.I., Puerto Rico; Complete health portion by VUMI Group I.I.) · Nomad subscription

Essential's USD 250,000 (EUR 216,657) limit exceeds the EUR 53,999 medical minimum and the subscription model can run for the entire 6-month stay, but death/repatriation-of-remains cover is not documented in the facts and SafetyWing itself states it cannot guarantee acceptance by every visa authority.

  • Subscription model: Essential auto-extends every 28 days (5-364 days per policy) and can be bought while already abroad; coverage in 170+ countries
  • No deductible on either plan; Essential also includes travel benefits (lost checked luggage, trip interruption, evacuation from local unrest)
  • Complete is full health insurance (USD 1.5M/year) including routine and preventive care, mental health, cancer treatment and limited maternity; renewable for life if enrolled before age 64

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

Emergency medical limits from USD 125,000 (US residents) up to EUR 10M (EU Explorer) all exceed the EUR 53,999 minimum and policies run up to 12 months covering the 6-month stay, but death/repatriation-of-remains cover is not stated in the facts and benefits vary materially by country of residence.

  • 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

Cigna Healthcare (Cigna Global Insurance Company Limited) · International health insurance

Silver's USD 1M / EUR 800k annual maximum far exceeds the EUR 53,999 minimum on an accepted international-health product with annual periods of cover, but evacuation/repatriation (the closest match to the required death/repatriation-of-remains cover) is only an optional paid module that the applicant would need to add.

  • Three core tiers with annual maximums of $1M/€800k (Silver), $2M/€1.6M (Gold) and paid-in-full with no overall cap (Platinum)
  • No upper enrollment age (18+); insurer states it does not terminate policies based on age
  • Modular design: outpatient, evacuation & crisis assistance, health & wellbeing, vision & dental can be added; deductibles ($0-$10,000) and cost shares (0-30%) reduce the premium

Foyer Global Health S.A. (Foyer Group, Luxembourg) · International health insurance

Unlimited inpatient cover with no annual cap on all plans trivially exceeds the EUR 53,999 minimum on an accepted international-health product, but the facts do not mention death/repatriation-of-remains cover and the 12-month minimum contract forces over-buying for a 6-month visa stay.

  • No overall annual or lifetime limit on core medical cover in all three plans; unlimited inpatient benefits confirmed on the official plan comparison
  • Insurer FAQ explicitly confirms cover in the home country as well as the country of expatriation; worldwide or worldwide-ex-USA regions
  • Luxembourg-regulated insurer (Foyer Group); 24/7 medical assistance, evacuation, teleconsultation and second medical opinion included in all plans
