Français La plupart des visas pour nomades numériques font de l'assurance santé une condition d'approbation — et le Workcation Permit de Seychelles 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
Valid medical/travel health insurance covering the entire stay is required (confirmed in the original launch announcement quoting the Seychelles Tourism Board). Coverage must include medical treatment and hospital care while in Seychelles (the original 2021/COVID-era rules also required COVID-19 cover; pandemic-specific conditions have since been relaxed). No official minimum coverage amount is published. International health insurance or a comprehensive travel policy with hospitalisation and emergency cover is the practical standard. Foreign visitors are not covered by Seychelles' public health service and must pay for treatment, so adequate insurance is both an entry condition and a financial necessity.
