Short answer
Albania’s Unique Permit (Leje Unike) for the digital mover (lëvizës digjital) category requires a health-insurance policy valid for at least one year, for the permit period (Source: AL_LEJE_UNIKE_MB_2026, official Leje Unike Digital Mover checklist; legal basis Law 79/2021 art. 68 and VKM 858 of 29.12.2021; verified 2026-06-09). The official checklist states the one-year validity but no coverage amount, so the checker models that insurance is mandatory and must cover the full permit period, and leaves any figure UNKNOWN.

How we evaluate
The checker compares each modeled requirement against product evidence. Two rules are encoded from the official Ministry of Interior checklist (legal basis Law 79/2021 and VKM 858/2021): insurance is mandatory, and the policy must be valid for at least a year. A monthly subscription that can be cancelled mid-stay does not assure cover for the full permit period, so it is YELLOW; a policy covering the whole period is GREEN.
A note on the 30,000 EUR figure that circulates for this permit: it is a third-party “route-hardening” suggestion, not the baseline requirement quoted in the official Ministry of Interior checklist, so the engine does not encode a coverage amount. This follows the UNKNOWN > Wrong principle: only what an official source states is modeled. See /methodology/ for the full logic.
Proof package checklist
- A health-insurance policy valid for at least one year (the permit period), not a month-to-month subscription that can lapse.
- A certificate showing the policy holder, policy number, and coverage dates.
- Documentation aligned with the official Leje Unike checklist and e-Albania service 15146.
FAQ
Q: What insurance is required?
A: A health-insurance policy valid for at least one year (Source: AL_LEJE_UNIKE_MB_2026; verified 2026-06-09).
Q: Is 30,000 EUR an official requirement? A: No. The official checklist states only one-year validity; the 30,000 EUR figure is a third-party hardening suggestion, not the baseline, so it is not encoded.
Q: Why is a monthly subscription YELLOW? A: It can lapse before the year ends, so it does not assure full-period cover; a full-period policy is GREEN.

Where to find compliant insurance for the Albania Unique Permit
The official requirement is a health-insurance policy valid for at least a year, so a full-period policy is what to look for. In the current snapshot, Genki Native shows GREEN: it is an international health policy with a full term that covers Albania, rather than a cancellable monthly subscription. SafetyWing Nomad Insurance shows YELLOW because it bills monthly and can lapse before the year ends.
