Plan A immigration insurance in Cyprus has age-banded pricing: from €120 per year for adults and children under 62, €210 at 62-64, €245 at 65-69, €270 at 70-74, €315 at 75-79, and €430 at 80+. Every licensed Cyprus insurer writes the same cover headings, and the price tag varies by age band and family size.

Market-standard Plan A hospital cover per insurance year

Plan A is the medical insurance every non-EU national needs to register with the Cyprus Civil Registry and Migration Department. It is also the cheapest mandatory insurance product anyone living in Cyprus has to hold, far less than private health insurance, and usually less than the cheapest car insurance policy. The pricing is age-banded: from €120 per person per year for adults and children under 62, then €210, €245, €270, €315, and €430 as the insured moves through the older age bands.

This page focuses on the price tag itself. For the full coverage breakdown, the documents accepted at the immigration counter, and the difference between Plan A and full private health insurance, see our complete guide to immigration medical insurance in Cyprus. Below: typical premiums by age, what affects the premium, and where to buy a compliant policy without overpaying.

How Much Does Plan A Immigration Insurance Cost Per Year in Cyprus?

A standard Plan A policy at DigiCare starts from €120 per year for adults and children under 62, with family bundles from €420 (two adults and one child) or €560 (two adults and two children). From age 62 the premium steps up by band: €210 at 62–64, €245 at 65–69, €270 at 70–74, €315 at 75–79, and €430 at 80+.

The figures below are DigiCare's published Plan A rates for 2026. They reflect quotes we routinely issue from a Cyprus-licensed insurer, cross-checked against the Plan A schedules other licensed Cyprus insurers publish. Family pricing is the sum of the per-person premiums; a 3+ family group of under-62 insureds drops to the lowest per-person rate.

Why this matters:
Plan A is the only mainstream Cyprus insurance product issued with no medical exam and no pre-existing condition disclosure. That is what makes the pricing predictable inside each age band. Older applicants who would be uninsurable in private health markets still pay the published Plan A rate for their age, capped at €430 per year for 80+.

What Affects the Price of Immigration Insurance in Cyprus?

The two main variables are the insured person's age band (under 62, 62–64, 65–69, 70–74, 75–79, 80+) and whether the policy is for one person or several. The wording is regulated by the Insurance Companies Control Service, the Cyprus authority that approves the standard Plan A schedule, so the cover itself does not change between insurers and the price tag does not move either.

Once you know Plan A is an age-banded product, the question is not what makes one quote €120 and another €430; it is whether the certificate will be accepted at the Migration Department counter. The points below cover the few things that can still affect what you actually pay or whether the policy will be issued at all.

  • Age. The premium steps up at five thresholds: 62, 65, 70, 75, and 80. Under 62 the rate is €150 per person; from 62 it becomes €210, then €245 at 65, €270 at 70, €315 at 75, and €430 at 80+. Children share the under-62 rate.
  • Family or individual. A household policy with named dependants costs the sum of the per-person premiums at each insured's age band. When 3 or more insureds are all under 62, the under-62 rate drops to €140 per person, so a family of four under 62 lands at €560 instead of €600. Submitting one family certificate is faster at the immigration counter than five separate ones.
  • Validity period. Plan A is normally written for 12 months to match the Pink Slip cycle. The Migration Department expects an in-date certificate at every renewal, so the natural buying rhythm is annual.
  • Sales channel. Because insurers write the same cover headings, an agency quote and a direct-to-insurer quote should align closely. If a quote is materially lower than €120 for an adult under 62, check the schedule of benefits: you may be looking at a non-Plan A travel product the Migration Department will reject.
Practical note:
Plan A does not ask any health questions. There is no medical history form, no exam, no waiting period, and no exclusion for pre-existing conditions in the regulated wording. That is what keeps the pricing predictable inside each age band: the insurer does not risk-rate individuals, only their age.

Where to Buy the Cheapest Compliant Immigration Insurance

The simplest way to buy a compliant Plan A certificate is to do it directly with us at DigiCare. You can purchase your immigration insurance online on our immigration medical insurance page and receive the stamped policy by email the same day.

Prefer to handle it by email? Just write to info@digicare-insurance.com with your full name as it appears on your passport and your date of birth, and we will email back the compliant Plan A certificate. Either route gets you the same policy at the same price.

  • Confirm the insurer is licensed by the Cyprus Insurance Companies Control Service. The certificate must be on a Cyprus insurer letterhead with a Cyprus VAT number; foreign expat or travel policies are not equivalent.
  • Get the quote in writing with your full name as it appears on your passport, the policy period, and the schedule of benefits attached. The Migration Department checks all three at the counter.
  • Match the policy period to the permit duration. A Pink Slip is renewed yearly, so a 12-month policy is standard.
  • If you are applying with family, ask for one household policy with named dependants, or buy each member their own certificate, but use the same insurer to keep the paperwork consistent.
  • Buy from an insurer or broker that issues the stamped certificate the same day. The bottleneck is the immigration appointment, not the paperwork.
  • Avoid quotes that look too cheap. Anything materially below €150 for an adult under 62, or below the band rate for older insureds (€210/€245/€270/€315/€430), is almost always a non-compliant travel product or a stripped-down Plan B with a lower hospital cap. The Migration Department will reject either.
What this means for you:
Plan A premiums sit in a narrow age-banded range, so hunting for a bargain rarely pays. Compare the schedules as well, because the limits are not identical, then pick the insurer or agency with the cleanest online quote and a same-day stamped certificate. A cheap certificate that gets refused at the counter costs you the immigration appointment, not just the premium.

Bottom Line

Plan A immigration insurance in Cyprus is priced by age and family size: from €120 per person per year, from €270 for retired applicants aged 70+, and from €420 or €560 for a family bundle. Every licensed insurer writes the same cover headings, so the premium is what really moves. Compared to the alternatives a Cyprus resident might consider, private health insurance from €300 to €5,000 per year, travel insurance from €30 to €80 per short trip, or third-party car insurance from €180 per year, Plan A is still the cheapest mandatory policy on the list.

If you are non-EU and applying for a residence permit in Cyprus, the practical question is not how to find a lower Plan A price, it is how to get a compliant Plan A certificate stamped and emailed before your immigration appointment. Pick a Cyprus-licensed insurer or broker with a same-day workflow, file the certificate, and move on.

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.
