Seguro médico para el visado Unique Permit (Digital Nomad) de Albania

Low confidence Última verificación June 15, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

La mayoría de los visados para nómadas digitales convierten el seguro médico en una condición para la aprobación — y el Unique Permit (Digital Nomad) de Albania no es diferente. Aquí tienes exactamente qué se exige, los planes que plausiblemente lo cumplen y qué comprobar antes de contratarlo.

El requisito

Seguro
Obligatorio (explícito)
Cobertura mínima
€30,000
Obligatorio para
Toda la vigencia del visado

Valid health insurance (international/private or an Albanian local policy) covering the applicant in Albania for the full intended stay is a mandatory application document under the unique-permit / digital-mobile-worker rules (confirmed as a required document by Fragomen). A minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 is cited by some secondary guides as a Schengen-style benchmark; this figure is NOT confirmed as a statutory minimum in any published decree read for this review, so treat the amount as indicative only — several sources state only that 'comprehensive medical coverage incl. emergency care and hospitalization' is required, with no euro minimum. Once a foreigner is legally resident, enrolment in the public health-insurance scheme (FSDKSH, ~3.4% contribution) is also possible.
