La mayoría de los visados para nómadas digitales convierten el seguro médico en una condición para la aprobación — y el Remote-Work Permit de Grenada no es diferente. Aquí tienes exactamente qué se exige, los planes que plausiblemente lo cumplen y qué comprobar antes de contratarlo.

Health insurance is mandatory and explicitly required. Under the Remote Employment Act 2021, s.3(2)(c) requires the permit holder and every dependant to 'be covered by a health insurance policy valid for the duration of the remote-work permit'; s.4(1)(d) requires 'proof of a health insurance policy valid for the period for which the remote-work permit is intended to apply' at application, and s.6(1)(d) requires it at renewal. The Act prescribes no minimum coverage amount and names no specific insurer type, so any valid private health insurance covering the full permit period satisfies the law. No local enrolment is required, since permit holders are treated as non-resident (s.10).
