Do I need health insurance for the Digital Nomad Visa?

Health coverage is a non-negotiable condition. You must hold comprehensive health insurance that is valid in Italy and covers the full period of your intended stay, including medical care and hospitalisation, before the consulate will issue the visa.

If you apply with family members, each person generally needs their own qualifying coverage. Make sure the policy meets the consulate's standards rather than assuming a basic travel policy will do, as inadequate insurance is a common reason applications are delayed or refused.
