Health Insurance for a Visa in Colombia

To apply for a visa in Colombia, it is mandatory to have valid health insurance covering the entire duration of your stay in the country. This requirement applies to visas such as the Digital Nomad Visa, Student Visa, Pensioner Visa, Investor Visa, Volunteer Visa, and Freelance Visa.

The health policy must cover accidents, illnesses, hospitalization, maternity, disability, death, and repatriation, in accordance with the guidelines of Migración Colombia and Colombian consulates.

Many foreigners cannot join the Colombian EPS (public health system) without a foreigner ID (cédula de extranjería), so international health insurance is the most practical and accepted option for the visa application process in Colombia.

International insurance providers like Genki meet the requirements for Colombian visas, offer continuous coverage for the required period, and allow cancellation with a refund if the visa is denied.
