What's the duration of health insurance needed for a student visa in Spain?

To meet student visa requirements in Spain, your health insurance must cover the entire duration of your academic program or the validity of your visa - whichever applies. Coverage must begin before or on the day you enter Spain and continue uninterrupted until the official end of your studies or visa period.

Spanish immigration authorities require that your policy includes no coverage gaps, no co-payments, and unlimited medical protection for the full time you're in Spain.

At HealthPlan, we offer a Sanitas-backed student health insurance plan that fully complies with all these conditions, including duration, repatriation, and Spanish-language documentation.
