Health insurance for a Malta residence permit

Malta publishes its rule clearly and it is unusually friendly to international cover: health insurance covering the EU (including Malta) and the UK, in force for one full year with the premium paid in advance. Travel insurance is rejected — a foreign policy meeting the requirements is explicitly acceptable. Pick your route below for the exact rule, its source, and the date we last checked it.

Common questions

Does Malta accept foreign health insurance?

Yes — explicitly, for the Nomad Residence Permit: EU (including Malta) plus UK cover, one full year, premium paid in advance.

Is travel insurance accepted?

No — travel insurance is rejected outright, and monthly-billed policies fail the paid-in-advance rule.

Can you arrange the annual-prepaid structure Malta wants?

Yes — our underwriting partner confirmed annual premium structures for Malta (July 2026), and a person confirms the certificate territory wording for your case before you buy.
