D7 & Digital Nomad Visa Health Insurance Requirements in Portugal (2026)
Applicants for D7 or D8 visas must provide proof of health coverage at two stages: travel insurance for the initial consulate application, and comprehensive health insurance (or SNS registration) for the AIMA residency appointment. Policies must meet specific criteria, such as minimum coverage amounts often set at €30,000 for the visa phase, and should be continuous to avoid application delays or rejections due to documentation errors.
Why it mattersIf you are applying for a D7 or D8 visa, you must secure health insurance that is accepted by both your consulate and AIMA; using a single, continuous policy can simplify the process and prevent documentation gaps that frequently cause application delays.
