Insurance in Spain

As part of the Student Visa application process, you are required to purchase health insurance for your visa application.

It must be contracted with an insurance entity authorised to operate in Spain, you can check whether a company is authorised here: https://rrpp.dgsfp.mineco.es/

The insurance must also cover all the risks insured by Spain’s public health system and must cover the entire period of the stay. It should have no coverage limits (Spanish companies offer unlimited coverage), no grace periods for certain benefits, no co-payments, and no deductibles. 

Here are some suggestions, but if you go through the directory linked also, there are hundreds of insurance companies:

If you are a European citizen you will be entitled to free medical care. During the course you will receive the relevant information you need to sign up for the national health service.

If you are from the UK you should also ensure you sign up for your free GHIC card before you leave the UK.
