Yes, health insurance is mandatory for the Costa Rica Digital Nomad Visa. One of the major requirements for applying for a visa is having a valid medical insurance with a minimum coverage of $50,000 that covers your entire stay in Costa Rica. Any family members or dependents accompanying you are also required to have their own medical insurance. Medical insurance can be obtained from a registered international insurance provider or a Costa Rican company regulated by the Superintendence of Insurance of Costa Rica (SUGEF). Medical insurance must be taken for long-term residency, not the standard travel insurance.
