INFORMATION FOR YOUR APPLICATION

What health insurance do you need for a student visa in Spain?

For a study stay longer than 90 days, the consulate or immigration office usually requires health insurance with comprehensive medical coverage. Travel insurance is different. It is designed for short trips and usually covers emergencies up to a financial limit. Health insurance such as DKV Visado de Estudios gives you access to doctors, specialists, tests, hospitalization and surgery during your stay, without co-payments. Before you apply, we review your dates, the province where you will study and your consulate's requirements.
Important: The insurance's suitability depends on the procedure and requirements applicable when you submit your application. See the official information on the Spanish Government Migration Portal. Applying for a different visa? See health insurance for other visas.
