Seguro médico para el visado Welcome Stamp de Barbados

Verified data 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 Welcome Stamp de Barbados 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
No especificado
Obligatorio para
Toda la vigencia del visado

Applicants must hold valid health insurance covering the entire period for which the Stamp is granted (12 months); the Stamp cannot be granted or renewed without it, and cover may be obtained abroad or purchased locally in Barbados. The authorities publish no minimum coverage amount. Short-term travel insurance is not accepted; long-term or residency health insurance is required instead. The public health system does not provide free care to Welcome Stamp holders (see healthcare access), so private international or long-term resident health insurance is required.

Planes que cumplen el requisito

Ordenados por adecuación al requisito y, después, por precio. El estado de cumplimiento se muestra por plan — comprueba siempre que el certificado de la póliza coincide con la redacción del consulado antes de presentar la solicitud.

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

Cigna Global is a genuine international health plan (Silver $1M / Gold $2M / Platinum unlimited) sold worldwide with no upper age limit and renewable annually, so it satisfies Barbados's demand for long-term/residency health insurance (not short-term travel cover) for the full 12-month Welcome Stamp; Barbados publishes no minimum, so all tiers clear.

  • 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

Foyer Global Health is a full international health plan with unlimited inpatient cover, worldwide (Region 1) or worldwide-ex-US, running a full year and renewable — the residency-style health insurance Barbados requires; its only exclusion (US permanent residents not insurable) is irrelevant to someone moving to Barbados.

  • 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

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

APRIL MyHealth International is a worldwide international health plan ($500k to unlimited) with 100% hospitalisation and evacuation, qualifying as the long-term/residency health cover Barbados mandates for the entire Stamp; only the max-age-74 ceiling could exclude older applicants.

  • 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)

Care Concept AG (Bonn, Germany) · Long-stay travel insurance

Care Concept Care Expatriate is a worldwide long-stay expat product that runs the full 12 months and is marketed as authority-recognised with >EUR 30k cover, but because it is a travel/expat-type policy rather than a classic residency health plan, acceptance under Barbados's 'no short-term travel insurance' rule should be confirmed against the AVB conditions before relying on it.

  • Contract terms from 3 months up to 5 years; max entry age 74 (Care Expatriate); Germans/Austrians abroad can re-extend repeatedly until their 74th birthday
  • Home-country visits insured: 30 (Basic) / 45 (Comfort) / 90 (Premium) days per insurance year
  • Official insurer FAQ states products generally meet Schengen visa requirements; instant online confirmation issued at booking and products are recognized by German authorities (>EUR 30,000 coverage)

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

SafetyWing's Complete plan ($1.5M/yr) is full health insurance that runs the entire stay and could satisfy Barbados, but the cheaper Essential plan is a travel-medical subscription that Barbados may reject as short-term travel cover, and SafetyWing itself states it cannot guarantee any visa authority will accept it — so fit depends on plan choice and must be verified.

  • 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

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

Genki Traveler offers EUR 1,000,000 worldwide cover for up to 12 months with an immediately issued certificate, but it is classed as long-stay travel insurance, exactly the category Barbados flags as potentially not accepted (residency health insurance required), so acceptance for the Welcome Stamp needs verification.

  • 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
