La plupart des visas pour nomades numériques font de l'assurance santé une condition d'approbation — et le Remote Working Program de Cape Verde 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
- Non précisé
- Exigée pour
- Toute la durée du visa
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).
