Purchase visa-compliant private health insurance (from an insurer authorised in Spain, SNS-equivalent cover, no copays, no waiting periods, repatriation included) — a national student-visa requirement
Student visas carry their own insurance bar, and the title lists it precisely: a Spain-authorised insurer, public-system-equivalent cover, no co-pays, no waiting periods, repatriation included. Generic travel policies fail this test constantly — ask the insurer to confirm student-visa compliance in writing and attach that confirmation to your application.
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).
