La mayoría de los visados para nómadas digitales convierten el seguro médico en una condición para la aprobación — y el Premium Visa de Mauritius 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 EDB Premium Visa FAQ requires applicants to hold 'sufficient travel and health insurance' and lists 'Travel and Health Insurance for intended period of stay' as a mandatory upload at both first application and renewal (French version: 'Assurance de voyage et medicale couvrant la duree du sejour', covering the duration of stay). For applicants already in Mauritius on a tourist visa, the Premium Visa duration is aligned with the validity of the health insurance (and return ticket), both of which must exceed 6 months. No minimum coverage amount is published. There is no public-health-enrolment requirement tied to the visa; private international or travel health insurance is the practical route.
