La plupart des visas pour nomades numériques font de l'assurance santé une condition d'approbation — et le Rentista (171-07) / Tourist-card extension de Dominican Republic 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 en pratique
- Couverture minimale
- Non précisé
- Exigée pour
- Toute la durée du visa
There is no digital-nomad-visa insurance rule because no such visa exists. For the tourist-card stay extension (prórroga), the migration agency requires a medical certificate but publishes no minimum health-insurance coverage. For the Law 171-07 residence route, the migration agency's document checklist (as documented by multiple Dominican law firms and residency practitioners) requires a completed medical exam in the Dominican Republic plus proof of a comprehensive health-insurance policy that provides coverage in the country — so insurance is effectively required. No official minimum coverage figure or fixed duration is published in the gazette. Residents who obtain a cédula can enrol in the national health-insurance system (SeNaSa/ARS).

Cigna Global Health Options – International Health Plans (Silver / Gold / Platinum)
Likely qualifyingCigna Healthcare (Cigna Global Insurance Company Limited) · International health insurance
Cigna Global is a worldwide international full-health plan (Silver $1M / Gold $2M / Platinum unlimited) with no upper age limit, so selecting a coverage area that includes the Dominican Republic yields exactly the 'comprehensive policy with DR coverage' that Law 171-07 residence requires, and no published minimum has to be met.
- 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 offers worldwide (Region 1, incl. the Americas) international health with unlimited inpatient cover and assumes a stay abroad of at least 3 months, matching a permanent move to the DR; its only exclusion (US permanent residents) is irrelevant here, so it plausibly meets the comprehensive-policy-with-DR-coverage requirement.
- 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

View plans (opens in a new tab)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 a worldwide full-health plan ($500k-unlimited) that would cover DR treatment, but enrollment is limited to ages 16-60 and to residents of 13 listed countries while requiring residence outside one's country of nationality, so eligibility for someone relocating to the Dominican Republic must be confirmed.
- 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)
from €52 /mo
View plans (opens in a new tab)SafetyWing (underwritten by SafetyWing Insurance I.I., Puerto Rico; Complete health portion by VUMI Group I.I.) · Nomad subscription
SafetyWing Nomad (Complete, USD 1.5M annual) is globally buyable and covers the Dominican Republic for the full stay, but it is a travel-medical subscription and SafetyWing itself warns it cannot guarantee acceptance by every visa authority, so its fit against the 'comprehensive policy' wording of Law 171-07 needs checking.
- 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
from €54.36 /mo
View plans (opens in a new tab)Genki UG (policyholder/agent); underwritten by Squarelife Insurance AG, Liechtenstein · Long-stay travel insurance
Genki Traveler is a worldwide long-stay travel policy (EUR 1,000,000/yr) available to buyers globally and covering the DR, but as a travel-type product without routine/chronic care it may fall short of the 'comprehensive policy' the residence process expects, so DR acceptance should be verified.
- 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
from €63.90 /mo
View plans (opens in a new tab)Care Concept AG (Bonn, Germany) · Long-stay travel insurance
Care Concept Care Expatriate is a worldwide long-stay expat/travel policy (>EUR 30k, marketed as authority-recognised) that is buyable globally and covers the DR, but it carries per-benefit sub-limits rather than full health insurance, so whether it satisfies the comprehensive-policy requirement for Law 171-07 needs verification.
- 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)
