Seguro médico para el visado Remote Worker Visa de Panama

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 Remote Worker Visa de Panama 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

Decree 198 (requirement no. 9) requires applicants to submit a copy of a medical insurance policy that maintains coverage WITHIN the national territory of Panama and is valid for the entire period of the applicant's stay. An international health plan with Panama coverage or a local Panamanian policy both satisfy this; pure travel insurance is generally not accepted by practitioners. No official minimum coverage amount is published in the decree.

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

A full international_full_health plan (Silver $1M / Gold $2M / Platinum unlimited) with Worldwide-including-USA coverage that includes Panama and no upper age limit; this is exactly the 'international plan with Panama coverage valid for the entire stay' that Decree 198 accepts, and it is not pure travel insurance.

  • 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

International_full_health plan with unlimited inpatient cover and a Region 1 worldwide scope that includes Panama for the full expatriation period (3-month minimum stay model), satisfying Decree 198's in-Panama medical-insurance requirement; the only exclusion (US permanent residents) is applicant-side and unrelated to Panama.

  • 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
#3

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 full international health insurance ($500k to unlimited, hospitalisation and evacuation at 100%) with worldwide cover that includes Panama for the entire stay, meeting Decree 198's accepted international_health type; max enrollment age 74 is the only constraint.

  • 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)

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

The Complete plan is full health insurance (USD 1.5M/year, worldwide incl. Panama) and SafetyWing issues a certificate of coverage for visa applications, but the cheaper Essential plan is travel-medical, and Decree 198 generally rejects pure travel insurance, so the applicant must use a qualifying tier and confirm in-Panama validity with the immigration authority.

  • 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

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

Care Expatriate is a long-stay expat policy (3 months to 5 years) with worldwide-incl.-Panama outpatient/inpatient/repatriation cover marketed as authority-recognised (>EUR 30k), which can plausibly serve as the required in-Panama medical policy, but as a travel-medical-style product its acceptance under Decree 198 should be confirmed with Panama immigration.

  • 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)

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

Genki Traveler provides EUR 1,000,000 worldwide medical cover that includes Panama and runs the full stay with an immediately issued certificate, but it is a travel_long_stay (travel-medical) product and Decree 198 states pure travel insurance is generally not accepted, so acceptance must be verified before relying on it for this visa.

  • 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

Qué comprobar antes de contratar

  • 🤝Encaja con el funcionamiento de la asistencia sanitaria local — consulta la página del sistema sanitario.
