La mayoría de los visados para nómadas digitales convierten el seguro médico en una condición para la aprobación — y el Remote Working Program de Cape Verde 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
The official 'Insurance' requirement (visit-caboverde.com) requires applicants to hold travel AND health insurance valid for the duration of stay, with coverage for medical evacuation and body transportation/repatriation in the case of death. No minimum coverage sum is published by the authority (field left null rather than invented). Local Cabo Verde public healthcare is not provided to short-term remote-working visa holders, so private international/travel cover with evacuation/repatriation is the practical requirement (local hospitals may lack capacity for complex cases, making evacuation to the Canaries/Portugal/mainland Africa a real scenario).
