Healthcare Insurance Requirements Around The World
Starting your expat journey is never simple. Between paperwork and cultural adjustments, it’s easy to overlook important details—like health insurance. But in many countries, having a plan isn’t just about personal protection; it’s a visa requirement. Your coverage often needs to meet specific criteria, including minimum benefits and approved providers.
Since requirements vary widely by country and can be difficult to track, we’ve put together a simplified list to help you navigate the basics. We’ve sourced our information from the most reliable places available—primarily official government and consulate websites. Where that wasn’t possible, we’ve done our best to ensure accuracy.
Still, immigration rules can change quickly. If you’re unsure about anything, consult the latest information from official sources or speak with a qualified immigration lawyer for your destination country.
