What Do You Actually Need From Your Spanish Health Insurance?
A simple needs assessment for people applying for Spanish residency
If you’re applying for a Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa or EU residency, you probably already know that your private health insurance needs to meet certain requirements.
But meeting the immigration requirements is only the starting point.
Once your visa has been approved, you still have to live with the policy.
How important is access to a wide choice of doctors and hospitals? Would you consider paying more for access to some of Spain’s most prestigious private hospitals? Do you travel regularly? Is English-language support important? Could your medical history affect your options? Would repatriation to your home country be important to you?
There is no single policy that is right for everyone.
This assessment is designed to help you identify what matters most to you before you compare your options.
It takes approximately 5–10 minutes.
If you’re applying for a Non-Lucrative Visa, you can read more about the specific health-insurance requirements on our Spanish Health Insurance for Non-Lucrative Visa page.
