Obtain a medical certificate (issued within 90 days, on official letterhead, translated into Spanish) confirming no diseases per the International Health Regulations
A doctor's letter, on official letterhead, stating you don't carry the diseases named in the International Health Regulations — the consulates are strict about the wording, so bring their template to your appointment rather than improvising. Like the background check it has a short validity window (the title's 90 days), so it slots near the end of your document gathering.
WHEN IT'S DUE
Due 45 days before you arrive in Spain.
WHY IT MATTERS
A legal requirement for your situation. Verified against an official government source (AEAT, extranjería, BOE).

LOLA'S TIP
Consulate appointments book out weeks ahead — secure the slot first, then assemble the paperwork.
