Krankenversicherung für das Portugal D8 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 Portugal D8 ist das nicht anders. Hier steht genau, was verlangt wird, welche Tarife die Anforderung plausibel erfüllen und was Sie vor dem Abschluss prüfen sollten.

Both the MFA visa portal's document list for residency visas and the official embassy D8 checklist (dated 4 July 2025) require valid travel insurance covering necessary medical expenses, including urgent medical assistance and possible repatriation. No minimum coverage amount or validity duration is published for national (D) visas: the EUR 30,000 floor applies only to Schengen short-stay visas, and the MFA portal's dedicated Travel Insurance page contains no substantive requirements. Per the MFA portal, the requirement may be waived where a bilateral or international agreement applies (for example Brazil's PB4 or the UK's S1), and citizens of CPLP countries are exempt under the CPLP Mobility Agreement. At the in-country residence-permit stage, AIMA's D8 document list includes no private-insurance item, and permit holders can register with the public health service (SNS) as residents.
