Ensuring you have adequate medical insurance is a vital part of your stay in Spain. At ILC Barcelona, we understand the importance of meeting the Spanish government’s requirements while also providing you with peace of mind during your studies.

Why Do You Need Medical Insurance in Spain?

According to Spanish regulations, all international students must have valid medical insurance for the duration of their stay. This is a mandatory requirement for obtaining a student visa (long-term or short-term) and for ensuring access to healthcare services during your time in Spain.

For long-term student visas, the medical insurance must:

• Provide full coverage for medical and hospital expenses.
• Be without a waiting period, meaning you can access healthcare services immediately.
• Be without a copay, so you don’t have to pay additional fees for medical services.

These rules also apply to students planning to stay in Spain for more than 90 days.
