Quick Answer
Direct Answer

The cheapest immigration medical insurance in Cyprus is a Plan A policy, from €120 a year for applicants under 62 and up to €430 a year at age 80 and over. Every licensed Cyprus insurer writes the same cover headings, so cheaper usually means a lower premium for an equivalent certificate. Compare the schedules as well as the price, because the caps and any deductible do differ, then buy the standard policy rather than a pricier upgrade you do not need.

Immigration medical insurance in Cyprus, known as Plan A, is the mandatory cover non-EU nationals need for a residence permit. At DigiCare Insurance the standard Plan A starts from €120 a year for an adult. No law fixes the cover, but licensed Cyprus insurers write near-identical benefits, so the premium is the variable that really moves.

This page explains what the cheapest compliant policy costs, how the price changes with age, and how to pay less without buying the wrong cover. For the full price ladder and what Plan A pays out, see our guide to how much immigration insurance costs in Cyprus.

What's the Cheapest Immigration Medical Insurance in Cyprus?

The cheapest immigration medical insurance in Cyprus is a standard Plan A policy, from €120 a year for an adult under 62. Licensed Cyprus insurers write near-identical inpatient, outpatient, and repatriation limits, so the cheapest option is usually just the lowest premium. Read the schedule anyway: the amounts differ slightly, and one or two insurers apply a deductible.

Plan A cover is settled market practice for the residence-permit process. It pays inpatient care from €13,700 a year, outpatient care from €1,710, and repatriation from €3,420, with a 10 percent co-payment. The insurers behind it are all licensed by the Insurance Companies Control Service, and the schedules they publish sit within a few tens of euros of each other whether you pay €150 or €250.

Because the certificates are so close, paying more buys you almost nothing extra for the immigration appointment. Our immigration medical insurance page shows the standard Plan A price by age and issues the stamped certificate online.

What this means for you:
For the residence permit itself, the cheapest compliant Plan A is all you need. A more expensive policy does not speed up your application or add cover the Migration Department asks for. Spend the difference on private health insurance later if you want day-to-day cover.

How Much Is the Cheapest Plan A by Age Band in Cyprus?

Plan A is priced by age and family size. It starts from €120 a year per adult and from €120 for children aged 0-14, and a family bundle starts from €420 (two adults and one child) or €560 (two adults and two children). Retired applicants aged 70+ start from €270. The cover shape does not change with age; only the premium does.

DigiCare published Plan A rates for 2026. Licensed Cyprus insurers write near-identical cover, so the premium is what really varies.

Why this matters:
Age is what moves the price, because the cover barely changes. If an insurer quotes you well above these figures for a standard Plan A certificate, check the schedule before you accept it. A family of three or more under 62 gets the lowest per-person rate.

How to Pay Less for Immigration Insurance Without Under-Insuring

The safest way to pay less is to buy the standard Plan A, add family members to one policy for the per-person discount, and buy directly online to skip agent mark-ups. Do not try to save by buying travel insurance or a non-compliant plan, because the Migration Department will reject it.

Three ways to get the lowest legitimate price:

  • Put the family on one policy. Three or more insured people under 62 drop to €140 each instead of €150, and children are covered on the same certificate.
  • Buy online, direct. Buying the certificate through a Cyprus-licensed online workflow avoids agent fees and gets the stamped document by email the same day.
  • Buy Plan A, not a substitute. Travel insurance, an EHIC card, or a cheap non-compliant plan will not be accepted for a residence permit. The mandatory minimum is Plan A, so that is the only policy worth comparing on price.

Bottom Line

The cheapest immigration medical insurance in Cyprus is a standard Plan A policy, from €120 a year per adult, with family bundles from €420 and retired cover from €270. Licensed insurers write near-identical cover, so the cheapest option is usually the lowest premium for an equivalent certificate.

Do not overpay for a fancier policy the Migration Department does not ask for, and do not try to save with travel insurance that will be rejected. Buy the compliant Plan A, add your family to one certificate, and get it stamped online before your appointment.

A Pink Slip takes about 6 months on average (usually 4 to 8 months for the card). Your permit is valid from the day the Migration Department accepts your application, so you can stay while it is processed.

Can you work in Cyprus with a Pink Slip?

Not for a Cyprus employer: the permit bars economic activity in the Republic. Remote work for a foreign employer is disputed between 2026 Cyprus sources, and we recommend the Digital Nomad Visa for remote income.

Is an EHIC or S1 form enough for the Yellow Slip?

Usually not on its own. The Cyprus MEU1 checklist accepts an EHIC in the student category alone, and names the E121 or S1 only as the pensioner route through the Ministry of Health, not as a general substitute for cover.
