COVRD.EE Launches VisaFlex

With digital nomad visas on the rise globally, international health insurance has become a key requirement for visa applicants. But most plans demand upfront commitment to a 12-month contract – long before applicants know whether their visa will be approved or if they’ll even begin traveling.

Today, COVRD.EE, an international health insurance plan designed for digital nomads, introduces a new industry-first feature: VisaFlex – the Visa-Backed Start Guarantee. This unique upgrade ensures that insurance coverage – and payment – only begin once two conditions are met:

• The applicant’s digital nomad visa is approved, and
• They actually start their travels.

This eliminates the financial risk of being locked into a year-long policy in case a visa is denied or plans change.

“We’re solving a very real problem,” says Aaron Schnakenberg, product owner of COVRD.EE. “Many digital nomads were forced to pay for expensive international insurance plans they never needed, simply to meet visa application requirements. With our new guarantee, those days are over.”

COVRD.EE has been on the market for two years and was co-created by NOMADS.insure, a team of independent insurance brokers who specialize in international coverage for remote workers and long-term travelers.
The product – backed by German health insurance giant BarmeniaGothaer – was built for nomads, with nomads: Based on hundreds of real-world consultations and two years of listening to the challenges people face when navigating visa systems, international regulations, and unpredictable travel plans.

“We didn’t just invent a feature – we responded to a lived pain point,” adds Christoph Huebner, co-founder of NOMADS.insure. “This guarantee is the result of deep dialogue with the global nomad community. It’s something no other provider offers – because no one else built their product from within the nomad ecosystem.”

As countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, Estonia, Thailand, and Brazil open their doors to digital nomads, insurance that’s compliant, flexible, and risk-free has become a critical enabler of this new lifestyle. COVRD.EE meets the coverage requirements of all digital nomad visa programs and includes options for dental, mental health, and emergency medical services – all without the strings of unnecessary pre-payment.
