Who We Are
healthinsuranceforspanishvisas.com is the dedicated health insurance resource from Spainguru, the largest English-language community for people moving to Spain.
Since 2014, Spainguru has helped expats navigate the complexities of relocating to Spain — from visa applications and tax obligations to finding the right health insurance. Our community of over 225,000 members shares real experiences, asks real questions, and provides the kind of peer-reviewed knowledge that no guidebook can match.
Why This Site Exists
Health insurance is the single most confusing requirement for Spanish visa applicants. Every year, thousands of Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, and Student Visa applicants struggle with the same questions:
Which insurance company is accepted by the consulate? What does “no copayments” actually mean? Can I use my home country insurance? How much does a visa-compliant policy actually cost?We built this site to answer those questions definitively, and to connect applicants with brokers who have a proven track record of getting policies approved.
How We Vet Our Broker Partners
The brokers featured on this site are not randomly selected. Each one has been vetted through:
1. Community Track Record
Feedback from Spainguru community members who used these brokers for their visa applications.
2. Consulate Compliance Verification
We verify that policies offered meet current 2026 consulate requirements, including full coverage with no copayments, no waiting periods, and nationwide coverage in Spain.
3. Ongoing Monitoring
We continuously collect feedback from our community about broker responsiveness, claim processing, and policy renewals.
Our Commitment
We are committed to providing accurate, up-to-date information about health insurance requirements for Spanish visas. Our content is based on direct experience helping thousands of visa applicants, official consulate requirements, and ongoing feedback from our community.
While we earn affiliate commissions from broker referrals (see our Affiliate Disclosure), our editorial content is independent. We will never recommend a broker or carrier that our community has not validated.
Meet Bruno
I’ve been helping people move to Spain since 2022 as CEO of Spainguru (founded in 2014), a community of over 225,000 members. Health insurance is consistently the #1 question I get from visa applicants — so I built this site to give clear, honest answers backed by real expat experiences.
Every broker listed here has been vetted through our community. If a recommendation doesn’t hold up, it gets removed.
