Section 01 · Common questions

Insurance in Puerto Rico, answered

Is travel insurance enough for a move to Puerto Rico?
No. Travel policies are built for trips: they cover emergencies and cut off at a maximum duration. A move to Puerto Rico needs expat health cover for the long run, with travel cover bridging only the in-between weeks. Using the wrong one is the most common gap.
What insurance does my Puerto Rico visa require?
Many long-stay visas require health coverage with specific minimums, valid from your entry date, and the consulate wants the certificate in the application pack. Build a plan and the requirement surfaces for your route before the filing week, so it is never the holdup.
