Nomad insurance
Digital nomad insurance for Romania
Built for people who stay in Romania for months at a time but aren't relocating. Hybrid medical + travel + gear cover, written for the way nomads actually live.
Romania runs a proper digital nomad visa, launched in 2021, and it sets a clear bar: private health insurance covering at least €30,000 for the whole stay, plus a high income threshold tied to the national average wage. It is an EU member and, since January 2025, a full Schengen country, so the permit doubles as a base for travelling Europe. Care is good and cheap in private city clinics, but the insurance requirement is non-negotiable and worth getting right.

Nomad insurance in Romania: FAQ
Romania doesn't usually require visitors to carry nomad insurance for short stays, but the moment something goes wrong it's cheaper to have it than to buy at the hospital. Check the visa-class requirements for your specific situation.
Premiums vary by age, plan and deductible far more than by country; the underwriting risk is priced, not the postal code. The Romania guide breaks down local treatment costs so you can see what your insurance protects you from, then run a real quote for your own number.
It depends on your situation: how long you're staying, your visa class, your age and health, and whether you want cashless treatment or are fine with reimbursement.
