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

- 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.
