Assurance santé pour le visa Unique Permit (Digital Nomad) de Albania

Low confidence Dernière vérification June 15, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

La plupart des visas pour nomades numériques font de l'assurance santé une condition d'approbation — et le Unique Permit (Digital Nomad) de Albania ne fait pas exception. Voici exactement ce qui est exigé, les formules qui répondent vraisemblablement à l'exigence et ce qu'il faut vérifier avant de souscrire.

L'exigence

Assurance
Obligatoire (explicite)
Couverture minimale
€30,000
Exigée pour
Toute la durée du visa

Valid health insurance (international/private or an Albanian local policy) covering the applicant in Albania for the full intended stay is a mandatory application document under the unique-permit / digital-mobile-worker rules (confirmed as a required document by Fragomen). A minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 is cited by some secondary guides as a Schengen-style benchmark; this figure is NOT confirmed as a statutory minimum in any published decree read for this review, so treat the amount as indicative only — several sources state only that 'comprehensive medical coverage incl. emergency care and hospitalization' is required, with no euro minimum. Once a foreigner is legally resident, enrolment in the public health-insurance scheme (FSDKSH, ~3.4% contribution) is also possible.

  • Home-country visits insured: 30 (Basic) / 45 (Comfort) / 90 (Premium) days per insurance year
